When the pregame doesnt carry over to the game

Okaaaay
1. I didnt know the 6 year guy had to break down who that "someone" is for the 14 & 30+ year guys. I kinda tailor my pregames to my partners experience level.

2. Never blamed anyone, just trying to figure out which of the posters here would "come n get it."

3. If I say lets be prepared to adjudicate on GT & BI, do I have to say the C & T or is that common knowledge??

You're correct & WE, by far, were the best team on the court (other than those 2 plays) in the 47-44 ballgame where the last second shot came up just short.

I had to go back & read what I wrote! Again, I never tried to absolve myself from anything. As the crew chief on the game, I had to write the game report. Taking responsibility there, plus looking for and finding (thanks to you) a better way to word that particular part of my pregame the morning after is quite accountable.
