Working a univeristy game and the coach from team A calls me over after a time-out to explain that the arrow was not switched to start the second half. I was responsible for watchig the scorer change it and he did, but this coach was insistant that it was not changed. To satisfy him I go and ask the scorer if he switched the arrow, to which he says yes. I even go further, because the coach can hear us, and ask if the next held ball will favor team A. He says YES.
I go back to the coach and say the next possesion will be yours and the arrow is pointing in your direction. He is so upset that he is not listening and just keeps repeating "it was not flip" over and over. I decide I have been at this long enough and say, it's right trust me and point at my partner to put the ball in play. It was like a coach complaining that the score was incorrect and he should have 54 points and when you look at the sheet and score clock they DO HAVE 54.
About 5 minutes later in the game I am C infront of his bench and he say's to me "I'm not crazy you know". I really wanted to respond but just nodded and keep on reffing.
