also, sounds like he flew out to announce my game yesterday.

"Alright Ladies/Gentlemen, here we go, we got two, deep breath,relax on the first one." (this is all said after a good 5-6 seconds when everyone is lined up, ready and he has the stage, and THEN the speech is drawn out)

I wanna strangle him..........

And WTF?, I've had 2 partners in the past few weeks (both in youth rec situations) say on the first of a two free-throw situation, "the first one is dead."

... he has a 'lengthy' pre-game conference with captains?

"Okay, here's how we're going to call the game tonight...."

We're gonna watch for hand checking, and we're gonna try and talk you out of the lane, and we're gonna watch for palming, and we're gonna watch for illegal screens....

BTW, I figure if "let it hit" is the most extranious thing I say all game, I'm fine.
