gotta love youth rec league partners...
shows up 2 mins before tip-off, wearing baggy basketball shorts and shirt untucked, shoots hoops during timeouts/halftime....... yeah that guy.

He was so sure of himself he actually got me to second guess myself... that is on me though. I have been working youth leagues for over 15 years, mainly Quad-A and HS, and done a lot of adult rec ball. Never joined my state's association because every time they approached me I was working swingshift, or attending college classes in the evenings. Have always strived to improve and am now thinking about joining OSAA next season to polish my skills and mechanics.

That Guy sure seems to be making his rounds lately.

Fractured Fairy Tales ...
Once upon a time, on basketball courts, far and wide, there were extra lines painted on the floor called the twenty-eight foot hash marks. These separated the midcourt, from the forecourt (No Bris Milah jokes, please). A dribbler, while being closely guarded in the midcourt, could dribble forward, past the hash mark, and get a new five second count in the forecourt.

Was you partner of the older persuasion?

Thank goodness the court received a circumcision right around 1990.

We've got some very old courts around these parts that still have the hash marks.

That's good because they're supposed to still have 'em as per NFHS rule 1-13-2. They're just supposed to be OOB now.

Even if you never join at least get your hands on a rulebook.
