Today is the big day. Our 9-10 and 11-12 league is winding up. I have the privilege of calling 3 finals and coaching in the other. Our regular season ran maybe smoother than it ever has, but the league tournament ups the intensity level and, you guessed it. Several of the losers have been mistreated. The rules aren't fair. The calling isn't fair. The brackets aren't fair. I just learned last night that a coach had spent a half hour because he wound up with the 5th seed instead of the 4th in a tiebreaker. The strange part is that the 4th and 5th seeds played each other in the first round. Go figure. I'm sure tonight will be more pleasant.
