1) Other than going "near" a huddle to tell a coach how many time outs he has left, I rarely go there. Just asking for trouble......

2) It seems like your partner found it. As we have discussed before "shut up" really has no place in a refs vocabulary. In this case it almost appears provocative. I mean, if a coach says "shut up" to a ref it's probably an automatic "T." So, why should we get away with it?
