Arrow I'll give you three guesses

Contest time.

Sixth grade girls rec last night. Q2, I make a 5 second closely guarded call. Coach yells, "What was that?" I reply, "As I said coach, 5 seconds closely guarded". Coach yells back, "How is she supposed to know that's a rule?"

I'll give you all three guesses as to my reply. Winner gets an autographed picture of Billy Packer with his foot in his mouth. Shipping and handling are an additional charge.

I will guess that you withheld judgment to see if a later comment from the coach may have prevented OT.

1. "Coach, she could try reading the rule book! They still teach reading in the 6th grade, don't they?"

2. "Coach, you could read them the rule book. That would help them get to sleep at night. You do have a rule book, don't you coach? You've read it, haven't you? You can read? If not, get your 6th graders to read it to you."

3. "Coach, that's your job. You're suppose to teach her."

I'm impressed someone called a closely guarded violation in rec-leval ball. Around here, seeing an official even count for one is as common as a travelling call in the NBA.

Sounds like you were in my high school class. I took three classes: huntin', gruntin', and cave painting. I aced huntin' and gruntin'.

Talking Here's what I said

They have these new things that actually explain the rules to kids. You may have heard of them. They're called "coaches". All the other teams have them. You should get some for your team. I think they sell them at Wal-Mart. You know, the place where, apparently, you buy your clothes.

You had me till here, Mark. I buy my clothes at Walmart.

I like being able to go in and get a carton of milk, printer ink, a business casual shirt, a birthday card, and a batting glove.

LOL It just doesn't seem right for a grown man to admit he buys his clothes at Walmart.

Hey, I'm wearing a sweater from WalMart right now! Don't give my buddy Snaqs a hard time.

(Although, it is a bit strange that he would be wearing a business-casual shirt and one batting glove at the same time. Maybe he's a Michael Jackson fan? )
