My, my . . . feeling a little sensitive are we? I think the big boys felt like they were having a grown-up conversation. I'm sorry if you're feeling worked. Did some mean coach tell you that vertical stripes aren't slimming and you're feeling grumpy?
My motivation for working officials here is what exactly? You might accidently let slip some deep secret from the fraternal order of basketball officials that I could use to extort you for calls at my next game?
Bwooohoooohaaaahaaa . . . my evil plan is nearly complete. But wait . . . what's this? I'm foiled by the brilliance of PGCougar. Blast!
Yes, this kind of discriminating judgment must make you a fantastic official. Don't take what you're seeing at face value . . . read between the lines and project what you think my motives must be based on your past experiences with other coaches, etc. Fantastic!
Isn't there a Fox-40 emoticon so you can give me a T or two and show my *** who is boss?
Do you see any difference between me trying to work someone and me trying to have a grown-up conversation with thoughtful people (which is, mostly what has transpired here, thanks to some true ambassadors of the game)?
There you go Coug, I made my motives for this post crystal clear so you won't have any trouble discerning them. No hidden agenda here, OK?

Hey Bebanovich,
Hope that throbbing vein subsides - it's not very becoming.
Just in case you didn't know, I've been coaching for 20 years and other than filling in for rec programs in a pinch, have never officiated. I'd be a lousy official I'm sure. I think you read wayyyyyyy too much into what I said and jumped to conclusions. I wonder if the officials might jump to conclusions on comments you might make too...
Look, if you believe you can spend your time influencing the calls, go ahead. I'll spend a few moments getting clarifications from the officiating crew on what's happening and then work with my team to adjust. I guess it's my belief that my team is more open to suggestions than the officials.
Have a great season coach.
