"Also had a coach ask me if he gets a T for thinking something, I said no, he said 'I think you are the worst referee I have ever seen'. Full credit to him, no T, a friendly smile from me, and we now get on fine (up until then I had a lot of trouble with him)."
I had a fellow official tell me the same story except the coach told him, "Well, then, I think you suck." He said he might have whacked him, but he had lost his whistle laughing. It was a coach he had work with several times and had a good relationship with.
