For the first time, the West Coast Conference held its championships in neutral territory. Lucky for us, they picked our favorite city - Las Vegas.
Excited to have the opportunity to see her alma mater, Pepperdine University, try to “advance to the dance,” Andrea went above and beyond to get us close to the action with floor seats. While I appreciated her enthusiasm, there is perhaps such a thing as too close to the action. Both Kerry and I ended up catching out-of-bounds basketballs (Kerry threw his back to the referee, while I took the safer-and-saner approach of waiting for someone to come collect it from me), and I did have some concerns of having a player end up in my lap.
While we’ll have to wait until next year for Pepperdine to go all the way, The Coffman Team had a great time at the championships, and walked away injury-free. I’ll have to work on my ball-passing skills for next year!
