In your girls' league, this isn't much of an issue.

Juulie - thanks for reminding me of my very own Davism. Last year, I was working a boys spring league at a facility that doesn't allow anyone to bring in basketballs from the outside. All teams must use the ones provided by the facility. At halftime of a 6th grade game, one team grabbed all the basketballs to warm up. A player from the other team came up to me and said "Isn't there some kind of 'ball quota'?"

I replied "Yeah, two per player - girls league's different."

He thought for a moment, then he "got it". He grinned and told the other players on his team. For the rest of the game, I was the "cool ref". I guess I know just how to tap into 6th grade humor.

BTW - in my summer league game I did last month with Dave, he asked me if I had any new "Padgett-isms" for him! WOW! I felt as if Albert Einstein had just asked me to correct his math homework.
