Best compliment I ever got was by a fan. It was a holiday tournament semifinals. Gym was so crowded they let some fans stand on the end. At one point, we had a pass to the wing, kid drove the baseline and crash! I came out with a PC foul, reported it and we had a time out. As I took my place for a throw in, this fan says, "Hey ref, I always yell at you guys. But this is crazy down here on the floor. You guys blow your whistles before I even know what happened."
The guy had nothing but good compliments all night long, and was amazed at how much more quickly the game moved on the floor compared to in the cheap seats.
I asked him to go tell all his friends!
