Second game today out of three, and we've got JV girls (oh boy!). Coach A is howling much of the time but I've got my earplugs in. Finally, one of his girls drives the hoop and B1 gets a clean block and knocks the ball about 20 feet OOB. The monkey goes bananas and starts screaming at my partner, who was lead.

My partner gives him the stop sign and says, "That's enough, Coach." The guy shuts up and my partner turns away. Then something happened so bizarre I almost didn't believe my own eyes. As soon as my partner turned away, the howler monkey held up a front paw and flipped him off!!!

My partner had his head turned and didn't see it, but I certainly did. WHACK! A flagrant T with an ejection.

It was yummy.

Can't wait 'till next weekend.
Man, am I jealous! :)

See Rut, this is the type of thing I'm talking about. Mark had no choice. The coach had already made the choice. You can't ALWAYS look for a way to avoid the T.

But,... but, Mark was wearing his earplugs trying to avoid the inevitable. He did try to ingnore, but he couldn't ignore the trial.

Earplugs don't help when you see a howler monkey flying the bird! :)

But you're correct. It's one of those situations where you can't ignore (or ingore) the gesture or try something else. ;)

When I was a kid,my dad asked me if I wanted to be a referee when I grew up.I told him the answer was definitely "yes".He told me that I had to make a choice then-one or the other-because I couldn't do both.Ol' Dad was right.

Rut, I'm guessing either you need to increase or decrease
your meds. In any case something ain't right! :eek:

You had to be there to get the entire joke.

I know you're referring to my son, Josh, who is a HS official. However, my two daughters, Mindy and Jennifer are quite content just raising their kids (yes, I am a grandpa). There will be at least one more basketball "nut" in the family, however. My oldest grandson, Tyler, is seven and very tall. His dad, my son-in-law David, is 6'6" and has played hoops since he was a kid, plus he reffed rec for a few years. Tyler started playing at his local Y last year and is incredibly good for his age. He loves football, basketball and baseball and wants to play all three.

Who knows, maybe Tyler will turn out to be the next ref in the family?
