My all-time favorite:
Basketball in high school, I slip around a screen attempt at the top of the key, poke a pass away from the guy I was guarding (who was curling off the screen), and have an easy breakaway.
I go down and (successfully, this is important) dunk it one-handed, then take some lower-body contact and get fouled, too.
I see my coach acting all pissed on the sidelines, and assume he is made because I got undercut/danger. Whatever. I make the FT, play goes on.
Next timeout, coach lays into me for showboating and tells me if I'm going to dunk on a breakaway like that, I better do it two-handed so I don't blow the 2 points.
So, I got chewed out for (1) working hard through a screen on D to get a steal (2) converting that steal into 3 points.
Good times.
