Yup. As did I.

I think she thought, because we were in Conn., that invoking her out-of-stateness would make me think, "Oh, there must be fundamental differences in the basic rules of basketball from state to state" and cause me to just let her consistently enforce her fantasized rules from outside her PCA.

She wasn't banking on me being from the next town over from her. The MSBOA patch (with the state outline) on my sleeve didn't tip her off that her alibi wouldn't check out. Alas geography, much like basketball, just isn't her thing.

But you'd never convince her of that. She was definitely "that girl," as one of you so eloquently (and visually) put it. Sadly, she was no Marlo Thomas.

Scrapper, if it's any consolation, she wasn't an IAABO official.
