Yep, I know how you feel.
Regional game last night...#2 seed visiting team B from up north...vs. #1 seed home team A from my district.
Freaking 30+ point blowout with a buck 30 left in the game.
Visiting team losing. Visiting team has less team fouls than winning home team. Visiting player B1 defending Home player A1 on a break away layup.
I was L and passed on a little contact from B1 on the shot...shot went in. After the shot, B1 and A1 came down together with B1 going to the floor. B1 twisted his ankle and had to be replaced.
Coach B, who had been fine all game, now decides to complain that the game is to rough...we gotta call these fouls to keep the game clean.
Of course he says this during the next live ball as I am running past him going to new L in A's frontcourt. I put my palms up and say, "Coach, the foul, if any, was on your player."
He then mimicks me with some kind of PeeWee Herman look...crossing his eyes...shaking his hip and putting his arms out with palms up.
I just smiled...but, this dude was real close to getting whacked.
After the game...some of us met and talked about this clown. Most of the guys said I did the right thing by not whacking him. One said, no T in a 30 point game...but, he would whack him in a 20 point game. Uhhhh, OK.
IMO...this could go under the "showing up the official" catagory...and it still Pisses me off...but, I suppose it wouldn't have helped the game much to whack him at that point.
