Had a game Saturday where the fould count was 8 - 1. The coach had the usual comments about it and then said "All I want is an evenly called game and judging by the scoreboard you all are not doing that". I SOOOOOO wanted to say "Well, do you want the score evened out as well? If you gave the other team 7 points you could even that out as well." However, I just took two steps to my left!!
Later, when the foul count was 10 - 2 "That Fan" kept yelling, "You're only calling one side of the court.!!" OVER AND OVER. The radio PbP guys were at a break and I said "I WISH I was only calling one half of the court then I wouldn't have to do all this damn running". They cracked up and the *******s even used the line on the air......without giving ME any credit.!!!
Having said that, there are coaches, had two last nite, that if the have an issue with a call they may have a point and it should be addressed. IE. Had a player who kept driving endline, ending up behind the backboard and then jumping into the defender all for no call. After I explained what was happening they were fine with it and made the correction.
