Most of the time the coaches will settle down and let me do my job, and it is my job to determine what is a 3-sec violation today, not theirs and I really don't care how you feel about it.

I officiate football as well, and I also coach a junior high football team. I had an official say that exact line to me one time and he was quite surprised when I said "Yes" and stuck out my hand for his whistle. He didn't know what to do, and then just walked away muttering. I doubt he still uses that line.
