Its all about perspective. And coaches have fun with one liners as well.
Case in point... Working boys varsity Team A has a decent record and Team B a horrible record. Team B has a first year coach with a decent future and a young team. Team B in the first quarter turns the ball over on the press 3 consecutive times on dumb passes. After the third easy lay-up in a row, I am table side at the trail getting ready to be new lead again. As this was the third lay-up in 30 seconds of play I am ready for the TO request and I get it. I hit my whistle and indicate TO. I ask the coach what he wants and he says, "I want the season to be over!" as he pats me on the backside. I say "OK coach will go with a 30 as that will help us get to the end of the season just a bit faster!" He had a quick chuckle.
As stated before, humor is not always appropriate but in the right spots its a good thing. Those that think they have to be serious all the time are missing alot. You can be proffessional and have fun all at the same time.
