The coach thanked me for the technical. He was great the rest of the game, shook my hand and apologized after.

The Ugly: When the buzzer for the end of the third quarter sounded, I was on the endline. Sitting in the corner off that same endline was a game management person. I'm gathering the ball and starting to head toward the division line when he gets up and yells "Hey stripes! You're calling too many fouls we're on a time limit here! We've got another game after this!"

For fun: "Then perhaps you need to complain to the moron that scheduled too many games tonight."

For real: "Sir, it's not my concern how many games are scheduled. We're not going to cheat the kids out of a good game just so you can get home early."
