I'm confused. What did he mean by "lines"? Did you think he was referring to the "three points" theory? If so, that only applies to a dribbler bringing the ball from backcourt to frontcourt. I'm not criticizing your quip, since I appreciate every "Dave wannabee" (that's a compliment), but I think you should have addressed his obvious lack of rules knowledge.
Maybe a good comeback would have been, "Yeah, and by the way you're coaching, you must have snorted all three."

Just a guess, but . . .
maybe there was the mid-court line, then two other lines parallel to it (voleyball, cross-courts, etc.)
We have this in my school's gym, and officials have called BC when going over the wrong line - we table folks usually straighten them out.
