I was working the box with a complete rookie on his first ever game in stripes (has college and a brief NFL playing career) working as HL in a Freshman game. After a couple of normal rookie mistakes, the coach has been getting furious and finally shouts "you're the worst official in the world!" Our rookie pauses for a moment, turns and looks right at him and says, "Yes coach, I am, and I'm the best one on your sideline."
