Congrats! Nice to have your own cheering section.

I've had the little kid run on the court incident before. Thankfully I noticed her before running her over and her mom scooped her up a second later.

PennCoach, Thanks for the update, last week Boys V we had a three year old enter the court as well! (no problem, just held up the throwin for a couple of seconds)I have never seen both coaches "leave" or be ejected. A coach a while ago told me that he got ejected years ago for two direct technicals with no assistant and the principal took over the team. Is this legal?

That depends on your state rules for coaching qualifications. Assuming it was high school, that is. Personally, I wouldn't know nor follow up; that's up to the school/team. As long as there's an adult on the bench, we're playing on. Check local listings, though.

I think we all see things we haven't seen before. Some are things that are fun to talk about. Most are things we will never see again. A lot of them seem to happen in JV games. Saw one kid put a FT over the backboard on the fly. And on the ensuing trip down the floor for the other team a kid zipped a pass under pressure that hit that same kid in the head and deflected to a teammate who went in for a layup. Also had a kid fire a pass parallel to the floor into the post from outside the arc that was deflected by a defender inside the arc and it went into the hoop for two points.

Girls JV Game, I'm T.

A1 passes to A2, B1 tips the ball into the backcourt. A1, A2, B1, and B2 go charging after it (these were not small girls).

Out of the corner of my eye I see Jr., must be 18 months old running onto the court after the ball. Me..... TWEET! TWEET!

Mom came onto the court, never knowing where Jr was before that moment I suppose.
