Never heard this one before - really

[Mark Padgett]

Yesterday, second to last weekend for our local kids rec league. I'm working an 8th grade boys game and the green team is crushing the white team by about 40 with a little over three minutes to go. The ball goes OOB under white's basket and it's a throw in for green. Everyone except A1 and A2 for green go down to the other end. A1 inbounds to A2 who lays it up into white's basket. I blow my whistle, go over to the table to explain the situation. Coach A calls A2 over to ask him what happened. A2 said he felt sorry for the other team and thought he'd be a nice guy and give them some extra points. His tone and demeanor led me to believe he was serious.

Ya' learn something new every season.
