I stand corrected. A few weeks ago I saw a basketball game in which neither team made a free throw.
My son was playing for a winter league boys 1st-2nd grade basketball team at the local youth center. As scorekeeper, my job was to keep track of individual points scored, fouls and team timeouts for both teams.
My son's team lost 22-0 and didn't even commit any fouls. If my son's coach hadn't called a timeout (which clearly didn't work), that side of the score sheet would have been entirely blank, save the names and numbers of the players.
So congratulations, UW. You are in fine company.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
