Interesting... I read this thread and then I was poking around on the SI website and somehow ended up looking at
this page.
I saw this:
•Earl Strom, NBA referee, to Philadelphia Trainer Al Domenico, who complained that Strom was assessing too many fouls against the 76ers in a game with Denver: "I don't count 'em, Al. I just call 'em."
According to that page, it was printed in the February 14, 1977 issue of SI. Apparently that quote's been around a while. It's always neat to me when you can see where/who pearls of wisdom like that come from. And then you laugh when you hear some grizzled old veteran claim something like that as their own.
