Funny things you hear from coaches and your partners..........
some of my favorites from this season:
coach: "he has to be set at least two seconds to take a charge"
coach: "we are in the bonus, it should be one and one."
me: "it was a player control foul coach, you dont get a one and one for that, you get the ball"
coach: "when did they change that rule?"
coach: "a jump stop, then two steps is not a travel because jump stopping doesnt count as a forward step"
me: "(confused) what have you got?"
my partner: "I dont know, my whistle just went off"
coach: "the principle of verticality is BS, I think you guys just make that stuff up as you need to"
coach: "thirty games into the season you are gonna call hand checking in the open court like that?"
me: "coach, your guy hit him in the face"
coach: "yeah but he didnt mean it, he was just playing tight defense"
my partner: "what did you signal right there?"
me: "didnt touch the rim on the FT attempt"
my partner: "yeah but they already got the ball"
