Wow, BadNews that's quite a juegernaut team you have there! Looks like U of Fla scores! (Can you believe they play the Citadel this weekend? )

I had my first scrimmage today. Actually did both the JV & V. Felt good to be on the floor again, though right now I am feeling a little differently after 10 qtrs with a 2 person crew.

Had my second scrimmage of the season last night - boys varsity. Was great to run up and down the court, and I feel good about things.

I am thankful for these scrimmages, though, as I'm definitely a bit slow to react and found plenty of things to work on in my next two scrimmages before my season starts Dec 1.

Man, I love this time of year!

Was supposed to be a girls' DH scrimmage. Had a JV official with me. Ended up as a boys' DH scrimmage. She did pretty well though. Coaches & players were pretty well demeanored throughout.

Ah, reminds me that I got to call my first technical foul of the year last night on visiting head coach. One of my partners had nailed the home head coach about 5 minutes after play started.

Fun, fun, fun...though V HC apologized later in the game and we had a nice laugh about it.

Good post. This is what the technical foul rule is all about. It's just one of many rules in the book. Some coaches just lose their cool every once in a while. It's not easy to coach. I know. I did it for over twenty-five years at the middle school level. Just because the coach said something unsporting, doesn't make him the devil, or our arch-enemy. One of the players traveled, and you called the violation. One of the coaches lost his cool for a minute, and you called the techncial foul. The fact that the coach later apologized reminds us that it's just a game, a game that is suposed to be fun for all.

4 varsity games and not a peep from any of the benches.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Why did it take him so long?

Just got my schedule tonight from my major assignor. Some pretty good games and I will have an opportunity to work with some folks for the first time. I have another assignor and should get a handful of games from him. And I will fill in a few gaps with some sub-varsity contests.

Acrimmage last night and two more till the season starts.
