Three that I used this year.
#1 :
Coach - "We've got 3 fouls and they don't have any!
Me - "I know Coach, they haven't fouled anyone."
#2 :
Fan - "Hey Ref, you're pitiful!"
Me, straight-faced, calm, - "Is that the best you've got? I mean, is that really the best you can do?"
He didn't say a word the rest of the game.
#3 :
Coach - "Do you need my glasses?"
Me - "Why? They're not doing you any good."
They all worked very well.
