Valhalla! Best game of the year, ended on a high note. Blowout but good athletes, not a peep from either coach other than a few grins and chit chat.

Good, smooth partners, no missed rotations, great communication. No poaching, no questionable calls. All good!

I'll sleep well tonight.

I finished up on Friday, week off to rest, then the first soccer tourney of the season. 11 games this weekend...

As noted above, if the snow melts...

Good show fullor, way to finish on a high note.

My scholastic season ended a couple of weeks ago. I am working youth games on Saturdays for a few more weeks. What an adventure they've been to say the least.

I did 6 games last Saturday. Over those six, I T'd up three coaches and DQ'd a player for a flagrant foul (the first of my career). Two of the T's were double Ts against both head coaches for yelling at each other after a hard (yet legal) blind screen sent both players to the floor. Oh yeah, this was a 9-10 year old game.

The flagrant foul came at the end of the 4th quarter of another 9-10 year old game when a player from the losing team violently shoved an airborne shooter in the back. I hit the whistle just as the horn buzzed, informed both coaches the player was DQ'd and put the details in the book. Fortunately, that was the last game of the night so my partner and I made a quick exit.

Overall, I felt it was a good first season of basketball. I thank you all for the great advice throughout the season, it definitely helped to make it a better experience. Now it's time to take a little break, hit the gym and get ready for a camp or two in the summer before football starts.
