OT - Funny stuff

This is the second year I've had a boys HS team in spring league named the "Cooties". They even have that on their jerseys. Fortunately, they don't have a mascot.

This will ONLY be interesting for the followers of the Big 10 in the early 90's.
Playing in a tournament a certain player drove down the lane into, literally, the open arms of Steve Scheffler (Center/ Purdue) As the player left his feet for the lay up, Mr Scheffler wrapped him up in a bear hug around the waist. SO there is this unknown player, about 18" off the ground, being held there as he hung in place by Mr Scheffler. Play stops, and both players look at the official and say "Well?" Mr Scheffler said "He isnt big enough to knock me down" The unknown player, was very scared the Mr Scheffler would squeeze tightly. The official just had a deer in headlights look. No call, count the basket. On the next possession Mr Scheffler said, "Next time, I'll just foul you!" I can neither confirm nor deny that the player never drove the lane after that.

It's not that funny, but I had a partner come to a game wearing black shoes with white shoelaces. I guess it could have been worse.

JV B, small schools, 4th quarter of a blowout, so the benches have been emptied and we have some of the non-players in the game.

Team B scores with about 10 seconds left and Team A takes a time out so that the kids who are usually at the end of the bench have a chance for a buzzer beater.

Team A sets up their out of bounds play and they run it to perfection to get the ball to this kid on the wing (keep in mind they ran their OOB play in their own backcourt). The kid takes two awkward dribbles and goes to shoot at Team B's basket. Out of nowhere, this kid who is not a basketball player, but is athletic, swats the ball into the 3rd row of the bleachers.

As trail, I blow the whistle, while laughing, and point in a very obvious manner towards team A's basket. At this point, everyone get the hint that they were all backwards. I can honestly say, I don't think any of the ten players knew they were going the wrong way.
