/ Thangs / In the weekly, Mens vs. Ladies matchup, the Thangs took on the Wolves and barely escaped with what little dignity they had left by barely winning. Surprisingly, the difference maker was the large and in charge presence of Phil Caldwell inside who the ladies had no answer for. Not surprisingly, Coach Thang managed to completely embarrass himself by getting trapped in the corner and having the ball stolen for an easy lay-up. Though in all honesty, he may have done that on purpose as being surrounded by three ladies was the closest contact he has had with the fairer sex in months.
