My partner and I were involved in a close game, and maybe he got carried away in the moment, because when the rebound was put back at the buzzer, he emphaticly signaled it good, and sprinted the length of the floor to our locker room. The only problem is that the game was tied!!! So I was alone out there to face the coaches, crowd etc.
I came over to the table, told them to start timing the one minute between regulation and OT, and went off to tell my partner that his presence was required on the floor. |

Last year, inter - city rivalry game. I had lost about 25lbs since I had bought my pants at the beginning of the year (cue Richard Simmons music). Also, our league evaluator was standing at the baseline.
There is a turnover and as I sprint from L to T I feel the waist sort of slide down the hips. NP, I will wait for the play, give it the ole "Officials Pant Hike" and move on. But noooooooooooo, the kid has to turn the ball over. As I pivot to go BACK to lead I feel the waistband catch on my right hip and as I turn slide down my left hip. This leaves me running down the court like I am on a horse. Sure enough there is a bang/bang play and I don't call anything. After the game the evaluator asks me about the play and why I didn't have a whislte. (He was standing directly behind me with the same angle) I told him there were two reasons. 1. I thought the contact wasn't sufficient to warrant a whistle as the offensie player was apparently going for Actor of the Year. He told me I should have blown the whistle, and I said OK. Then he asked what my second reason was. I said "My pants had fallen down, and I was a little more focused on trying to keep them above my knees". He said "I was wondering why you were running down the court funny."!
