Mark, that's hilarious! I guess if Saddam was on my crew, we'd have free Doritos in the locker room, or whatever junk food he was getting from the guards, right? I'd also let him throw the ball up if he wanted to.

I would love to "scratch" partners and coaches. Scratching partners was really frowned upon when I started out, and is not an option in college. There were also guys I didn't click with at all on or off the floor that I eventually gained at least some measure of appreciation for over time. The ones I don't, I just have to make the best of it. Almost everyone, probably even Saddam and Jurassic Referee, have some redeeming qualities and charms that I would focus on as positives and be successful as their partners on the floor.
