Yep, and I don't bother hiding it. I try not to laugh at coaches, but fans are fair game.

My favorite ever happened last season in a JVG game. Visitors have the ball with a series of shots and offensive rebounds; one dad is screaming 3 seconds behind me. H player hears "3 seconds" and gets a rebound; then throws up a 3/4 court shot with 50 seconds left in the quarter.

LOL....nice!

This weekend, a parent audible to all, yells 'three seconds' towards me and an offensive player who had paused in the block right in front of me while the ball was up top at the perimeter being passed from side to side. Smart kid...he hears it and calmly steps out of the lane like I was the one trying to talk him out of the violation. I love it when that happens. My shoulders were moving up and down on that one too.

Good one!

Here's a funny one from Saturday. Boys JV, home team is constantly pressing. One home defender in particular is really hustling, always seems to be the player that opposes the throw in. Well after about 10 attempts to intercept the throwin pass this energetic player finally succeeds and gets the ball under the visitors basket. He immediately turns and lays the ball up in their basket! He comes down, turns with a victorious smile looking over at his coach and that's when his coach says, "WRONG BASKET!" A little shoulder bouncing was going on all over the gym.
