Excelling at multiple sports poses a dilemma for young men his age...but it's a pretty good problem to have. Glad to hear about his basketball exploits.

My son's high school has about 2,000 students, so a lot of talentedd kids don't make the basketball team, so they play in a pretty competitive rec league, in which I've always volunteered or coached in some capacity. I think I posted once about 4-5 years ago where we lost a championship game because a referee, who happened to be a board member that served with the opposing coach, called a series of peculiar technical fouls on one of our players in the final ten seconds.

Well, this is my last year as a coach because my son is a senior, and my last chance to avenge that controversial loss against that smug coach, who's still on the board.

We play the fat bastard Sunday.
