Basketball is the best sport to watch, I feel the same as you do. I wish I understood the nuances of the game better so that I might appreciate it more.==============================

I went to an SEC tournament with my younger daughter in the mid aughts. She was maybe 11. I am sitting with my buddy and his son, who was maybe a year or two older than my daughter. Auburn and Vanderbilt were playing. Auburn was in a matchup zone. The boy was mocking the AU defenders' inability to keep up with their men.

"They don't have a man. It's a matchup zone, you dummy," a high pitched, pre-teen female voice sounding much like my daughter's intoned.

She was right. My friend laughed on and off for half and hour. His son sulked.
