I have certainly heard some classic lines by coaches and fans directed toward officials, but what truly interests me is some of the classic one liners officials have directed to coaches. I would love to hear some of the zingers, and one-liners officials have spewed at a coach...I don't mean anything derogatory, just some funny anecdote that I may put in my bag, should I find myself in such a situation. Tell me what you think of this one...I was calling a girls' varsity game, and the coach, who buy the way is one of the better coaches in the city, gets upset with me for a calling an off ball foul on her post player for wrapping the defender with her off arm and pinning her. The coach replied that she was just banging just as the boys do. I calmly turned to her and said "Coach, that was a nongender-specific call." She just smiled wryly, and returned to the bench. I felt pretty good about how I handled the situation.

A coach was complaining about the disparity in fouls called on his team vs. the opponent. I told him, "Coach, your players are so quick that the other team can't get close enough to foul you." He had this puzzled look on his face. Precious!
