At camp this summer, A1 receives a pass and drives to the basket. A1 is fouled by B1 while in the act of shooting. I call the foul, report and B's coach wants a word. He says I missed the travel at the start of the drive.
"Coach, his pivot never left the ground."
But he travelled.
"Coach, he started the dribble before the foot moved."
But he travelled.
"I won't miss it again, Coach."
Stunned silence. He says, with a look of utter disbelief on his face, "No referee ever said that to me before."
Worked for me. As somebody said earlier, I don't do the funny one-liners.
