Special needs player
I get the good stuff every now and then that just makes up for the junk. 4th Q of boys JV game Friday night. Easy game. Nothing unusual to call. Lopsided score. With about 2 1/2 minutes V subs in a kid with a big grin on his face. He's a special needs player. Coach yells, "Work it in to _____. (the sub)." ______ gets the ball pivots and swished a 3. All net! Big grin becomes a HUGE grin! Fans are whooping it up! H goes down court and scores. V bring the ball back down and coach repeats, "Work it in to ______." They never can get him the ball again, but when the final horn blows the kid walks over to the bench looking like he just won an olympic medal. Good stuff, guys. Really good stuff.

Makes Me Proud To Be A Part Of This Game ...
Great posts. I've already signed up for the Special Olympics Unified Games in March. I can't wait.

There was a video floating around youtube a couple of weeks ago of a situation like this. They put in some kid and he proceeded to knock down like 6 3 pointers in a row. I'm thinking: why don't you play this kid ALL the time with that kind of shooting accuracy!

Just watched the video. Who stole my stupid Kleenex box!!! I agree with the AD. If last Friday had been my last game of the season, even over some very good V mactches, it would be the one that got me pumped for next fall.
