Tossed the P.A. announcer

HS boys game last night. Lead calls a foul on a home player and takes it to the table. I am C. As my partner turns his back to the table after reporting, the P.A. announcer covers the microphone with his hand and starts screaming, "that was a horrible call" at my partner. I start walking towards the table. I give him "the look" and put my hand up and say, "stop!" He keeps yelling. I quicken my pace towards the table and catch eyes with the gym administrator who starts running towards the table. Before I can even tell the announcer that he's been ejected, he stands up and exits the gym. Something tells me that this isn't his first time. I filed a report with our assignor and I'm guessing that his announcing career is over, at least for this year.

He would need to escort himself out of the gym. Hey! Did the game report get filed?

The thought crossed my mind to have the scorer replaced in my game on Friday night. We had a GV followed by BV. In the girl's game, I ended up calling three PC fouls on the home team. One was in the first quarter, but the other two were very close together in the third quarter. Of course the crowd was in a tizzy, but after the last one, the scorekeeper had her hand over her eyes and was looking down shaking her head back and forth as I went to report. I almost went and said something to her, but the rest of the game was uneventful so I moved on.

That'd be jbduke.....he will show up here if anyone says anything bad about Coach K or Dook sometime in March. I won't know about it though, because I took biggravy's advice a year before he gave it.

Naw, I was talking about a generic Dookie...one of the ones wearing the preppie costume and driving the Beemer that DaDa gave them for graduating high school.....you know, the ones where you're not sure whether they're male or female and you're also not sure whether it matters....the ones that worship at the altar of that whiny l'il hemorrhoid that coaches Dook.

Ol' jb is OK. He do get a l'il excited sometime if we crap on Dook, but that's just from the accumulation of Dook KoolAid he's ingested over the years. Iirc he's graduated and was doing some officiating...so he's one of us. Right, jb, if you're out there somewhere?
