Can you hear me now?

In New Zealand, an 8-year-old Ukranian girl has been booted from a junior tennis tournament because she was found to be wearing a communication device. On the other end, electronically speaking, was her father, who claims he wasn't coaching her — which is against the rules — but merely telling her the score.

The father, a professional wrestling coach, insists he's NOT a pushy father.

The girl insists having her father tell her the score is easier than looking at the scoreboard.

Funny, but when I used to play tennis, I was able to follow the score without the benefit of a scoreboard OR a bug in my ear. But maybe I was special ...
