Anybody know a good lawyer

Doing an end of the year girls feeder tournament this past weekend, seventh grade game. Foul on red, red player takes ball looks the other way and discards ball in the corner as I'm waiting for it under the basket six feet from her, I call her number and point to the ball, saying nothing, she retrieves it, I say thank you.

After game Mom approaches me and ask why I did that. Being slow on the uptake, I start to respectfully explain and am met with "Next time you do that, I sue you"

Have a good day Ma'am.

Surprised you didn't "T" the disrespectful kid right away! You have more patience than I do apparently

It wasn't egregious, She knew what she did wrong( I hope, as her mother didn't have a clue). I mentioned it to the coach who couldn't believe it, siding with me.

Probably just my Catholic upbringing, as a kid, I was always guilty until proven innocent if any authority figure said anything to my parents.

"Get over here, Sister Mary Agnes just called and you're in a heap of trouble.".........

Is that an approved mechanic he's using?

Yeah, it's the new one for illegal use of hearsay.

Wow. I would have laughed at her, assuming she was joking.

I might take you up on the lawyer need...

5th/6th Rec Championship this Sat. I'm L, have a held ball in front of me...TWEET...I point to the other end of the court...kids are still fighting over the ball and white player ends up on the floor. It was one of those where he was trying so hard to rip the ball away he flung himself on the floor....He's now acting as if he's working on winning an Oscar Award for best drama.... Claimed the other kid choked him!

I didn't see anything like this happening, my partner didn't have anything.......Well, his coach comes out on the floor followed by his dad to check on him...coach is a good guy and simply asked me what happened...I told him, he said, agreed he didn't see anything crazy going on other than two guys going for the ball....They check on him, kid is fine after about :60 of the drama....dad looks up at me and says "That's a flagrant A$$ foul!"....

I looked at him and calmly said, "Sir, if you'd like to watch the rest of the game from outside in the parking lot, I can accomdate you". He left the floor without further incident but it let me know that my fellow league directors need to address parents entering the playing floor to check up on Lil' Johnny next season. Trust me when I say it will be in our legue rules and code of conduct that they must be beckoned by the coach or Board Member on duty in the gym.

Tell her good luck with that. As a lawyer, people who makes those comments need to be punished. It is ruining our country.
