There was a college team where the coach was known for his strict rules. One day, a player accidentally showed up to practice wearing the wrong color socks. The coach made him run laps around the court while singing the school anthem. The whole team couldn't stop laughing, and it became a running joke for the rest of the season.
There was this coach who was always very serious during practice. One day, a player's shoe came off during a fast break. Instead of stopping the play, the coach just yelled, 'Keep going, one - shoe wonder!'. It was so unexpected that we couldn't stop giggling for the rest of the practice.
Sure. There was this one time when a player got his shoes untied right in the middle of a fast break. He tripped over his own laces and the ball went flying into the stands. Everyone had a good laugh, including him.
One memorable story is when a player accidentally dunked the ball into the wrong hoop during a practice game. It was a moment of total confusion but also great amusement.
One funny thing is when a player tries to make a cool pass but ends up hitting another player right in the head. It's unexpected and always gets a laugh. For example, I once saw a point guard trying to pass the ball between two defenders but misjudged and the ball hit one of the defender's heads and bounced straight back to him.
There was a little kid at a basketball camp. He was trying to shoot from half - court. He used all his might to throw the ball. But instead of going towards the hoop, the ball hit the coach who was standing at the side giving instructions. The coach was so surprised but then he started to laugh, and so did all the kids at the camp. The little kid was a bit embarrassed at first but then he also joined in the laughter.
Sure. Once a referee was so focused on watching a player's footwork that he didn't notice a ball coming right at him from the sidelines. It hit him on the head and his hat flew off. The players and the crowd all had a good laugh.
A basketball team was doing a warm - up drill. One player was dribbling the ball while running backwards and he accidentally ran into the basketball hoop pole. He fell down and the ball bounced on top of him, looking like a really clumsy scene.
Sure. There was a player who accidentally ran the wrong way during a game. Instead of dribbling towards the opponent's basket, he went towards his own. His teammates were stunned at first but then couldn't stop laughing.
Well, there was this girl playing basketball. She was running super fast to steal the ball. And as she suddenly stopped to change direction, her shorts got yanked up into a wedgie. It looked so funny that even the opposing team had a hard time not laughing. But she was a good sport and just kept on playing.
