Talking Fan needs to go back to school

Last night, A1 goes in for a layup and B1 makes a clean block with absolutely no body contact and knocks the ball OOB. I call it that way. Some fan yells, "Learn the difference between leather and skin!" I'm not kidding, that's what he said. I looked at him and replied, "Leather is skin, Brainiac." He got that deer in headlights look. For a moment, I thought we were on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?".

Not so cut-and-dry at the youth level. Most are not taking the game that seriously. You have to read your audience.
