Players yelling during layup

[Mark Padgett]

My favorite is the yelling of "ball, ball, ball" by girls on inbound plays.

In rec games, sometimes I will blow the whistle, motion for the inbounder to give me the ball, put it right in front of the face of the screaming defender and say loudly, "YES, IT IS A BALL!!!"

That usually stops them for the rest of the game.
