If I was on the mound in high school my coach wouldn’t have to tell me to do anything. On 0-2 or 1-2 I’d have his on his arse. Otherwise he would be picking a ball out of his ear hole. Then after whiffing him I’d tell him, “Grab some bench %&@+#$!”
I had my moments on the mound that had me called into the principal’s office to be reminded I represent the school. The amusing time was when I was at an ISL (private). The English headmaster called me into the office. I almost bit through my lip to keep from laughing when told I placed too much emphasis on sports and girls. imagine that! A teen boy interested in sports and girls.
In American high schools where I’ve been the band can’t play as soon as action is about to start (pitcher on the rubber, offense come to the line of scrimmage, basketball in bounds, puck dropped in hockey).
