So here's a knotty sportswriting etiquette problem ...
Made it back to my courtside seat about a minute into the UCLA-Washington State game, having posted that previous entry on USC's win over Cal, and found my seat occupied ... by USC coach Tim Floyd.
What, exactly, are you supposed to do at a moment like that? Kick him out?
Floyd apologized, saying he didn't know where he was supposed to sit to watch the game (but he didn't make any effort to move). So I grabbed the next seat over -- and the person who was supposed to be in that one grabbed another seat, etc.
After about 10 minutes, the USC coach departed, and we all slid back into our assigned seats with relief.
