A long time friend treated you this way? Wow...

Seems like he needs to be on the receiving end of a heart to heart disucssion.

No kidding. I have called games for several coaches that I know fairly well, including a couple that I went to high school with, and they usually lay off of me and my partner.

I know most of the coaches in my area as well and some of them will say my first name loudly now and again, which bothers me a little bit. It was nice to do a game out of the area a few days ago because NO ONE had any idea who I was. I never realized how nice it was to be anonymous.
