Sometimes we get so caught up in doing the job at hand that we forget it's a game, and we forget to enjoy the moment.

That is what makes this all special. Moments like that you can talk about for years.

I'm A Funny Guy, But I Won't Quit My Day Job ...
Catholic middle school game a few nights ago. Blowout girls game, but both teams seem to be having fun, the way it's supposed to be. Best player gets fouled in the act of shooting. Just a touch foul, but it was a foul. Defender says to shooter, "Sorry", loud enough for everyone to hear. While they're lining up for free throw, I say to the girls, "There's no crying in baseball, and there's no sorry in basketball". Everybody gives this a little laugh, except the free throw shooter, who is laughing so hard that she misses everything on her first free throw. Same shooter, who, later in the game rushed her free throw with five seconds left in the period, also an air ball. I asked her why she rushed her shot, and she answered that she didn't want the clock to run down. I told her that the clock stopped for fouls, and which point everybody had a good laugh.

Kid leaves a BV game with blood: a cut just below his eye.
He checks back in during a free throw and I'm underneath administering. I look at him and he's got this long band aid that runs across one side of his nose and around the side of his face. Me: You okay? Him: Yeah, but the band aid is kind of an eyesore. -- Cut to the beginning of the third and I'm waiting to hand him the ball at the division line. Me: Was that an eyesore pun before? Him: Yeah... (sheepishly) ![]() |
