I didn't say anything
At halftime in tonight's game, the R says, you all need to get in the game. I told him I needed specifics. I stayed for a minute then left to get some water. Normally I'll listen but I just wasn't in the mood for it tonight. Earlier there had been some confusion as to the score. He told the two of us that we needed to take a quick glance at the score to make sure the three pointers were scored correctly?
Anyway, late in the game a techical was given. I start to head down to the correct basket when I realize that R is setting up the shot at the wrong basket! I blow my whistle and get it moved down to the correct basket. I said nothing. Didn't need to. He knew. Rita |

I (U2) had a game once (3-man) where the U1 went on a mini-tirade at halftime b/c he thought too many calls were being made outside of our primaries (whether he had a point or not was lost behind his deplorable attitude). In the 2nd half U1 has a shooting foul followed immediately by a double T called by me. And what do you know, in the midst of all the reporting he loses the shooter and we end up with a correctable error. And mind you, after the 1st free throw I blew my whistle to see if we had the correct shooter and we still proceeded to let the wrong shooter shoot the 2nd free throw. The 2nd free throw missed and during the rebounding action there was a whistle for a foul. That's when the Crew Chief realized we had had the wrong shooter.

It's hard enough translating mbyron English into plain English, now I have to deal with mbyron Latin?

I took two years of Latin in HS and two years in college. My most vivid memory was from the textbook we used my first year in which words were "made up" to simulate Latin just to get us interested. One story was about a boy and a girl who went on a "picus-nicus" and drank "cocam-colam". No, I'm not kidding.

Why did these schools allow you to take these courses for credit when Latin was the language that you, and your family, spoke at home. The Padgett family had a good thing going, until the Huns showed up. Sand-bagger.

Sounds like you were having a bit of a rough night. I don't see anything wrong with R saying you need to get in the game. There are some nights I may be a bit off and not as focused. So...a little directive to get in the game is helpful and I get in the game. A little nudge doesnt hurt, we all need a little correctable encouragement, but i will say it all depends on how one delivers it...

Who are you calling an idiom?
A more idiomatic translation: "practice what you preach."
