I loved to ask the officials what they saw there and I loved it when they said "coach that's not my call"
I would always reply "next time it happens can it be my call? cause I will make it"
now that I am on the other side with a whistle, I have made a personal vow to never utter that statement to a coach. I prefer to rely on "coach, I didnt see it, but I'll keep a look out for next time"
