Back in the olden days, when I was working (and it was work, my family needed the paycheck) various mens recreation leagues, I often crossed heads with a real hothead player, a gifted basketball player, but a real hothead. My altercations with him were often accompanied by technical fouls, and even an occasional ejection (we actually ejected players from the gymnasium back then). Fast forward to the present, and he is one of our local board's best officials.
