That guy

[Rich]

This from a boys varsity game in the not too distant past.

That Guy and his apparently new partner had the JV game. Partner and I stood in the corner on arrival and watched some of the game going on.

Visiting fans were ALL OVER these guys. All of a sudden, That Guy turned and directly threatened to clear out the section. Now I was horrified...AND entertained.

A bit later, the other official missed a blatant illegal dribble against the home team. The visiting coach took a timeout at the next opportunity and stood staring at the official. That Guy came over and got face to face with this coach and the two of them went at it for a bit. No technical foul or anything, just a good old argument between the two of them.

We start the varsity game. Didn't hear a thing from anyone the entire game. Visiting assistant was the JV head coach. At the introduction, he kind of ignored us (and I figured that was a hold-over from the previous game). His bad mood didn't last long.

And yet: About midway through the first quarter, That Guy came through one of the gym doors and stood in a corner by himself -- wearing a pull-over jacket from the home school.

Good times, good times.
