There is a well known girls varsity coach around here who has been using the code word "bananas" whenever he wants his team to foul. He keeps yelling "bananas, bananas, bananas" from the bench. Actually, it's quite humorous. What has happened since the point of emphasis came out in 1999 is that other coaches have picked up on this. Now, we have about 10 coaches yelling "bananas" at the end of the game. In fact, when there is a timeout near the end of a close game, instead of reminding my partner to watch for the intentional fouls, I just say, "it's bananas time." So far, most all of them know what I mean (although it is a little embarrassing when one of them doesn't).
BTW - personally, I think George W. is a few fries short of a happy meal. In fact, I don't think he could ref because I think he would have trouble spelling "T". Oh wait, that was the dufus who ran with his dad.
