I know what you're thinking -- 25 years ago I *might* have had Beta. Truth is, I don't have any VHS players anymore and certainly don't want to watch *that* game again.
I'd never do this in a varsity game but....about 5 or 6 years ago I was working a weekend tourney (I have no idea what grade level it was). I had a routine oob call on the baseline. One of the fans who had been a bit of a pain and was taking things way too seriously starts yelling, "You got that one wrong! I have it on tape!" as he was filming the game. I nicely told him, "Feel free to go home and watch it right now." He just looked at me like he couldn't believe I said it. We didn't hear from him anymore at least.
