A tight game, but the boys pulled it off at the end posting an 18-16 win. Smart shot selection in the final quarter and tight defense the whole game made the difference. And oh yeah, I guess I have to acknowledge Ted’s superior use of the timeouts. He’s always claimed that he could get a job in professional sports as the “Time Out Coach” with his vast knowledge of the proper time to deploy the timeout and its strategic use. He put it to good use yesterday, calling a timeout with 7 seconds left so that the boys could throw the ball in to the backcourt and run out the time (recall that there is no backcourt defense yet in 5th grade).
