Yea, I got the "I wasn't even talking to you" line a few weeks ago. Girls JV, absolutely packed, tight secondary gym, rivalry game on a night when boys JV was playing on the main court, followed by both boys and girls varsity games. Coach had started yapping about every little thing literally within 10 seconds of the start of the game.
After a warning ('stop sign' and verbal warning), coach said "This is the worst officiated game we've ever had". Whack. Then he says "I wasn't even talking to you, I was talking to my assistant." Of course. But I heard you. From 20 feet away. Not even looking over at the bench. In a loud, boisterous gym. There was some chatter about "get your head out of our huddle" but it wasn't as loud and I was moving to center, so I let that go.
He ended up getting a 2nd T and ejected in the 4th - on a foul that went against the other team! And then wouldn't leave the court for a half minute and never did leave the gym. Interesting night.
