You, and Mark T. DeNucci, Sr., deserve each other.

I think she should have received a flagrant T for intentional destruction of court equipment. Then I would have assessed delay of game Technical fouls for the 45 minute delay. The Head Coach would have been assessed a T for providing faulty equipment. The AD would have been tossed if the school could not have provided at least donuts for the delay...😄

I believe in the Metric System. (but not for basketball, baseball & softball, and golf).

P.S. Billy, you are a chemist and took Calculus, what is your answer: Newton or Leibniz?

It was like hitting a brick wall. I did great in all forms of mathematics until I hit calculus. Algebra. Geometry. Trigonometry. Statistics. Probability. All easy peasey lemon squeezy. Mr. Trachenburg took pity on me and passed me in calculus, even though it was mathematically impossible with the grades that I earned.

All I know, for sure, is that Isaac Newton invented calculus because the mathematics of the time wasn't powerful enough for him to help his good friend, Edmund Halley, determine the correct parameters regarding the elliptical orbits of comets.
