Question for a slow (no, not that way) board

[BillyMac]

As a junior varsity official, I had stayed to watch the varsity game following mine. One of the varsity officials, an experienced veteran, and one of the better officials on our board, for some reason was drawing the wrath of the crowd with some of his calls. A ball gets lodged between the backboard and the ring. Before any of the players get a chance to jump to get the ball down, he comes racing in from his postion, all five feet, three inches, of him, jumps as high as he possible can, and doesn't even get as high as bottom of the net, missing everything. The crowd started laughing at his obvious futility, but after that, they didn't give him a hard time about any of his calls.

For all you new guys - that's called a wedgie.

What about almost having a new partner in the middle of a game?

I think I told this story before, but during a JVB game, my wife and son were in the stands. I'm on the sideline about to to administer a throwin when I hear beside me, "Look Daddy! I can blow my whistle too!" Everyone on (and off) the court is staring at me as my four year old son is staring up at me with a sh*t-eating grin on his face and his little whistle that looks like a train in his hand. My son was ushered off soonafter but it took everything I had to not bust out laughing. People still mention that game to me on occasion when they see me.

Come to think of it, that was probably one of the better games I've worked as well.
