When fans ask you "Was that wrong?" what do you say?

"Sorry, I was looking the other way and didn't see it."

This is fine when asked about the play on the floor. But what about: "They just gave that guy 3 free throws for the intentional foul on a made basket. That's not right, is it?" What do you say to that? I was absent that day?

"I haven't studied all the new rule changes for this year yet."
"He's been at this a lot longer than I have."
"When I have a rules question, I call him"
"Maybe he's getting his HS and his college rules mixed up, I'm not sure."
"Here's the rule book, look it up."
"I'm not an evaluator, so I'm not the person to judge."
"Don't ask me, I got a 75 on my test!" (Don't say this if your game is next, not last)
"Is it going to affect the game?"
"He's using the Rule 2-3 thing."
All true, more or less, and none to the point. It's a great exercise for many parts of life.
