I must have forgot to set the alarm

[Mark Padgett]

I'm sure I was dreaming this last night. Sixth grade boys "competitive" rec. Home team wins by 12. Absolutely no negative comments by any player, coach or parent the entire game. One time a coach asked about a rule. He wanted to know if, after a timeout, his team still could run the endline following a made basket. My partner told him they could. He said thank-you, SIR!!!

After the game, both coaches came over and thanked us for our efforts plus a bunch of parents from both teams did the same.

When I came home, I told all this to my wife. She said I must have been watching a movie or something.

I had the exact opposite game last night. Couldn't get anything called or not called without someone griping about it.

Thanks for rubbing it in

Let's hope it's groundhog day.



I had a funny last night.

I'm new T far side of court. H Team has backcourt pressure. V gets the ball up court and while doing so makes a pass to V2 who is straddling the Division Line. V2 tosses it back to V1 in the backcourt who dribbles into the frontcourt. H Coach yells "BACKCOURT!" Play continues.

A few minutes later as I'm getting H out of their huddle after a TO, I tell the coach he clearly was straddling the line.

Coaches reply, "Figured as much, I really couldn't tell from here."

Me, and half-jokingly, "So, why did you yell it?!"

Coach, "That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"

Made me chuckle. Good guy. They won by a lot going away.....so, he was in a good mood!
