Talking to coaches

League rules dictated that the teams line up at mid court facing each other while they said a prayer before each game. The ball was tossed and they started beating on each other and talking trash just like any other men's league I have ever officiated.

And I played in both a basketball and softball league where we couldn't get enough church members to play one season, so we asked friends and co-workers to help us out. We felt bad enough that we didn't attempt to field a team the next year. What's your point?
