No official should EVER make a comment such as that. It destroys credibility. What will the player or coach think of your "impartiallity" the next time you have a game there?
Durring a tournament this year in which we had some out-of-state teams here in FLA at WDW, a coach complained about my call of a 4th foul on her "star" player. "That's her 4th and she's my best scorer!" I simply repied, "I don't count 'em coach I just call 'em."
BTW save the "You're from Florida?!? I KNOW YOU can't count!" responses.
