It never changes

[Mark Padgett]

And two more on Sunday! No problems except one coach was "absolutely positive" (direct quote) that following a timeout in the last two minutes of either half his team could advance the ball to the division line for the throw-in. I explained this was an NBA rule and when he gets to coach in the NBA, he can have the throw-in there.

Also had a eighth grade boy ask me if a punch "counted" if it missed the other guy. I asked him why he wanted to know. He just shrugged. I told him it did count just the same as if it connected because the intent was the deciding factor. At first, he said "Oh", then after a moment or two, said "What's "intent" mean?" I looked at him and said, "You really don't know what the word "intent" means? He shrugged again. I said, "You must go to public school." He said he did.
