I was watching a HS VG game the other night. Reff calls a blocking foul and the visiting coach immediately jumps up off the bench. After reff reports foul, I see a conversation between the two. He explains what he saw and the coach finally sits down. At halftime I go in the reff room and asked him about the conversation. He told me that he explained to the coach what he saw and why he made the call. The visiting coach then said, "well I respectfully disagree, that was a bad call!" He said, "ok!" Seemed like a reasonable coach and I liked her choice of words. I've gotten plenty of I disagree with... .... but I've never gotten the respectfully part. It must be his age? (He's about 10 years older than me.
