Fan comment...
It seems that I hear at least one or more comments from fans or coaches that make me smile and shake my head at their "officious" ignorance.
Tonight's gem:
After I made an OOB call that a nearby fan disagreed about....
(It was early in the 2nd quarter. Time out had been granted and we were about to resume play near the boisterous fan.)
Fan: "Hey ref, how long you been reffing?"
Me: "Let's see, we have one eight minute quarter done and 6:23 left in this quarter, So that means 9 minutes and 37 seconds, but I slept at a Holiday Inn last night.(grin)"
Fan: (Puzzled look) "What's that got anything to do with this game?"
Me: "My same sentiments about your first question."
Chuckles from those that caught my sarcasm laced dialogue. Ball given to inbounder and off we go....
