I love it when I'm at the school basketball game, and the following happens very near the end of the game: Our team calls a timeout. After the timeout, we are in possession of the ball. The other team leaves their bench first, and all of them head down the court. Our team takes the ball in, at the opposite end of the court. They fan out across the court, and are now facing the other team. The other team is very close to the basket at the far end, and our team is very close to the basket at this end. It almost looks like a game of red rover at this point, as the two teams face each other. All at once, everybody realizes the opposite team is guarding the WRONG basket. Suddenly every girl on our team that is on the court whips their head towards the coach to make sure of what is going on. The coach screams GOOOOOOO and points behind the team at the basket, as the rest of our girls on the bench scream GOOOOOOOOOO and point also. The girl holding the ball turns around and makes a basket, as the other team starts running as fast as they can back up the court. We were ahead by over 30 points, so making the basket for points wasn't important. It was funny though. I did feel sorry for the girls on the other team; I'm sure their coach wasn't happy with them, although their coach didn't notice it as it was happening either. I saw something similar at a Bruins hockey game back in, oh, about 1989, at Boston Gardens. The opposing team forgot they were switching sides at the half. Their goalie got some serious harrassment from the spectators about it. Cali
