Love the game, love working with the kids, love getting paid for the exercise. And when I'm 73, I can still do all those things by doing lower level games, and mentoring and evaluating. Which is my plan.

Patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.

So in the last almost 40 years, he never had anyone reach across the boundary and slap the ball? He never had 2 delay warnings on the same team in the same game? He never had a game with an illegal substitution? He never had too many players on the court? He never had a player report in without being in the book? etc., etc., etc.

I have to tell you, I find that hard to believe.
