I "like" doing this

[Mark Padgett]

Last night, coming down court prior to a throw in, a player says to me, "Will you like watch 35? He's like holding my jersey". I reply, "I'll like watch him if I like get a chance".

Sure enough, the teams set up and 35 grabs this kid's jersey and pulls him. I blow my whistle and indicate the foul. I go over to report and tell the table, "I have like a foul on like blue 35 for like holding. Since that like puts us in the penalty, we'll like shoot a one and one". The scorers looked at me in total confusion. As I walked towards the lane, the player who got fouled said to me, "OK, I get it". I replied, "You get it, or you like get it?" He just laughed.
