I worked a game Tuesday where an assistant coach came up to me and showed me his iPod Touch and said, "this isn't a phone." Confused, I said, "OK?" and he told me an official saw him with it before their previous game and made a huge deal out of it and told him that if he saw him with it during the game, he'd remove him from the bench.
I laughed. I reassured him I wouldn't even be looking in his direction if he was sitting on the bench.
Last night we had an announcer who announced fouls before we reported them. It annoyed me a bit at first, but in the end I wanted to see if he got them all right. He did, with the exception of a foul called by a partner that not only confused him, but the 2 of us also working the game.
