HI Fishies...

Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend. Mine was pretty good, not too much to tell. Our numbers are looking pretty good considering this was only a half week. I got into the spreadsheet and updated my stats (it's 3200 not 2200). I likely won't get as much per week in the following weeks, so figured I'd try and get ahead a tad.

Hey Dee, thanks for the web lesson!! Perhaps one day soon I will try and update my 25 in 25 team stuff.

You're welcome. A lot of people have asked about writing links for their team or mentor group. So I figured I'd write up instructions for it. Congrats on getting ahead! (I'm behind, but I'll catch up.)

Funny, I just checked my PM's and BrianO had PM'd ME asking on how I did it (which I only survived by remembering your talk about spreadsheets). I refered him to your thread.

Well I guess imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery...

it's also the quickest way I could think of to boost our post count without talking to myself - LOL!

dang, what am I doing over here again!

No, you sign a waiver for these leagues.  All part of the game.  It was a knee to the upper thigh.  It was an intentional cheap shot moving pick/flagrant push, but the knee contact was incidental.  The kid was doing more football than basketball.  I let their coaches and the ref know what I thought, but didn't use vulgarity.  The one coach did and I told him to watch his mouth.

It is ashame that it seems the coordinator was there and did not do anything to encourage the ref's to take control of the game (often times when we witness a ref in that situation we pull them and then proceed to ref the game ourselves).  Which seems is exactly what happened, the ref's lost control.  We always  tell our ref's in training that THEY are the ones who set the tone for the game and can help control the environment.  If they do not call fouls, they WILL lose control of the game.  I've even seen ref's make up the call b/c they saw something they knew was wrong out of the corner of their eye,he blew the whistle, and then paused to figure out who the call should be on.  Was it the right call, perahps no, but at least he got the point across that the agression on the court wasn't going to happen.  Ref's don't always see everything, there's two of them watching ten players, but they should still be able to keep control of the game and use their whistles.

It is unfortuate that these situations arise, and as a parent, you DO NOT want to see your child get hurt, but also make sure you keep your cool.  One of the worst things I've ever had to experience was 2 yrs ago two teams of 5th grade boys stood courtside crying their eyes out as their parents and coaches went after it on the court. 

Its an addiction.... shouldnt the rest of your team be helping with your post count?

Oh yes I mean Beth... those 3 are on the SAME team? Yeah its gonna explode some time soon!
