y OR coor-
dinator
tries to
relieve some of the
inherent stressors of
busy OR days by get-
ting the staff together
for a "free throw"
game when there's
downtime. The trash
receptacle is the "bas-
ket." Staff members
take turns shooting a
small toy basketball,
and the person who
makes the most bas-
kets wins. They play
for pride, not prizes.
It's just a great way
for the staff to take a
breather and relate on
a fun level.
