Weirdest last 10 seconds

[Mark Padgett]

Final local kids rec games of the season this morning. Last game, 6th grade boys. 10 seconds to go and team A is up by 1. B1 drives the lane and scores. Partner waves it off and calls a carry. B1 grabs ball and slams it down. Partner calls a T. Coach B jumps up, throws his arms in the air and yells "WHAT KIND OF A CALL IS THAT?" Partner Ts the coach. A1 makes all 4 FTs. A1 inbounds to A2 who is grabbed by B2. Partner calls intentional. Coach B throws down clipboard and I T him up. He is gone. A2 makes both on the intentional then A1 makes both on the T. A1 inbounds again to A2 who again is grabbed by B2. This time I call the intentional. A2 makes both FTs. A1 inbounds to A2 who just dribbles out the clock. Team A wins by 11.

What a way to end the season! Now I'm home and gearing up for the season ending pizza party tonight. All the pizza I can eat for free. Such a deal.

BTW - when Coach A was ejected, my partner went over near the door to make sure he left the building. That's the law here in Oregon. We didn't want the guy to "Molalla" one of us.
