One of the best written and most entertaining and funny episodes I've seen. The episode depicts a murder of course, and monk takes over the role of coaching girls basketball. But it is the subtle things that happen in between that make this episode hilariously funny. As usual, we see the very childish nature of monk as he responds to both Natalie and to his surroundings... but this episode in particular has some hilarious twists and turns. He has a particular fondness for a whistle that he's given as the assistant coach of a girl's basketball team. This episode had me laughing at several different intervals.
