Valid point.

I can assure you this was the sitch. I am more likely to stop a game that has became nothing but a mockery of "pure" basketball. I have canceled games in the 1st quarter for this type of stuff, but today BOTH teams were mutually having fun, it was three pt attempt after 3 pt attempt, team fouls were 3 and 1 at half. We never even saw bonus. Horseplay yes, but control was ours through the game. Not one chip at us over anything. We even went into two OTs.

Today I figured, if you have to deal with a game like this, you can let it irritate you into retirement, or have some fun of your own.

Everyone involved loved the flat ball routine.
