Me, reporting: "White foul, twenty-two, team control, red ball OOB."
Coach: Who's been chippy all night, but nothing to merit any warning or anything; "How can you call that???"
Me: "Coach, did you have a better look at that one?" (Of course, he didn't).

Coach: "No, but I've had a good look at all the other calls you've made tonight, and I'm going straight to my computer after this game and give you the rating you deserve."
Me: "..........................."

While the coaches response is certainly worthy of a T, am I the only one in thinking that depending on tone this is a line we should avoid using?
