After 19 problem-free trips, water balloon fights broke out while Newport High School was participating in the Los Angeles Times Orange Holiday Classic. A water balloon fight in a hotel was followed by another outside. What followed was a very interesting and innovative plan for timing the suspensions, ensuring that varsity players would be on the floor for each game. The duties of supervision don't get more demanding than during tournaments. It's more than time, location, numbers, attitudes, results of games - it's building a team and offering trust.
Coaches do an outstanding job.
Foreseeing is probably a gift of envisioning what enticed you in the past, multiplying it by 16, and preventing it.
