Mens league game, a guy complains about a carry on a high dribble. During half time he politely asked me why I didn't call it. I asked him why he thought it was a carry. He said, "Two reasons, first, the ball bounced higher than his head. Second, he took more than 2 steps while he was dribbling."

I told him that first it was simply a high dribble and second, you can take as many steps as you want while dribbling legally. He gave me a puzzled look and said, "I don't think that's right, you can only take 2 steps while dribbling." To which his teammate says to him, "He's the ref, he's probably read a rule book and I know you haven't."
