Playing full court basketball with a dad and his son
A group of guys was playing full court basketball at a 24-hour fitness when a dad and his son showed up to shoot around. The dad seemed surprised that the group was playing full court and continued shooting on their side of the court while the game was going on. After a few possessions, the dad disappeared and returned with the front desk guy, who stopped the game and told the players to switch to half court because other people wanted to use the gym. The players were frustrated, but wondered if they should have waited for the front desk guy to leave and resume playing full court or if they should have compromised and played half court.
