Last weekend, I did my first games of the fall rec season with my old buddy, Dave. He seemed a little subdued, but he did get off one good one with a varsity girl who argued about taking off her earrings. Dave told her she had three options. First, she could take the earrings off and she could play. Second, she could leave the earrings in but she couldn't play. Third, she could leave the earrings in but take off her ears, and she could play.

She chose option one. I was kind of hoping she would have chosen number three, because I really would have liked to have seen that.

Second game, I am lead, Dave is trail. A1 drives to the hoop and is fouled on the shot. I call the foul. Dave runs in from trail and says he has a travel first. I say OK, it's a travel and wave off the foul and the shot (which went in). Coach A yells at Dave, "Why is that your call?" Dave replies, "Because it was my turn. See - you guys have the alternating possession arrow. That means the trail official has the next call on violations and every third call on fouls. After the next jump, we switch and my partner gets to make a call. Got it?"

The coach looked confused and just said, "Yeah, OK, I guess. Thanks."

Dave gave me one of those looks like, "Isn't this fun?"

I would definitely like to work with your partners. The best i have found this year is a partner who instead of rotating there arms away from them for a travel signal, has decided to rotate them towards themselves. I decided to join in and we had both coaches really confused, not to mention the rookie officials in the stand.

Keep smiling

Got one for Dave. I have a young man teaching me how to do "Michael Jackson's moon walk". When i get it down i am going to do the walk while giving the traveling signal!
Should be fun.
