This was suggested by the male students in the crowd. After the 1st OT, they suggested a game of lightning to determine the winner.

They also suggested that the first basket of the 2nd quarter determine the winner. After the horrific play of the 1st quarter, I thought they were on to something.

I've never before had to toss up 5 jump balls. Good practice, I guess.

The JV game I worked last night went 3 OTs. We didn't get done with the varsity until 9:30....home at 10:30. It was a long night.

Nice!

In Summer League I've worked a triple overtime (1 minute stop time-Each team gets an extra 30!).My longest game during the regular season was a double overtime varsity boys tournament game last year.

That's the first reference to "lightning" that I've ever seen on this Forum. Oh, to be young again.
