Heartbreaker basketball game tonight. Ahead most of the way, other team go ahead by two, the inbound pass stolen by our team with nine seconds left and we make the basket to go into overtime. Unfortunately, by that time, not only Nick but two others of our team have been on the bench for awhile because they fouled out and one is there with an ankle injury, leaving no subs and only little guys are left. They put forth a valiant effort but to no avail, we lose.
Nick had three fouls in the first quarter and looked genuinely shocked on a couple of them. He declared to us after the game that he didn't even touch the player on the fifth foul (end of third quarter), so perhaps the officiating could be questionable, especially since three players fouling out is unheard of in this team! There was only one ref and of course it was one of Will's "ref buddies". Will says his uniform always looks like it was washed in dirty water, and I observed that the man seems unaware that wearing your shorts mid-thigh isn't the current season's trend, or any season in recent memory for that matter. But perhaps he wants everyone to notice that the reason can't runs very well is because of the big wrapping around his knee. Not that we would ever judge anyone by the clothes they wear.
