Winning shots...

There's no clock on the court in these games - they all start and end at the same time on every court - so we generally have a clock-keeper on the bench. We're down one with time winding down, other team with the ball. My clock guy yells 4 .... 3 .... 2 .... and the other team heaves one up from half court. I get the rebound. Clock guys says, "Mike - 12 seconds!!!" 2 passes later, our only decent shooter puts up an ugly shot that manages to go in for our only victory every.

Ah yes, intramurals...where players have 6 years eligibility
