team left court end of 1st half

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

This is a true tale. Last year Mark, Jr., and I had a boys' JV game and H1 was fouled in the Act of Shooting a successful FG Attempt at the buzzer to end the 2nd Quarter. The Visitors stayed to on the Court, but A1's own team (including the coaches) headed to the lockerroom. We were so stunned we forgot to get them back the gym.

When we came back out onto the court to start the 2nd Half, the Visitor's HC asked me if Team A could do that, and I was honest with him and told him that we screwed up by letting them leave but we were surprised that they didn't want to see whether their own teammate made the FT. He asked if there was a penalty, and I told him he didn't want to know the answer. He said "TF, right?" Me: "I told you that you didn't want to know" And he laughed, saying that to do so would have embarrassed A1.
