Last year, in another sport, doing a JV, I called a foul on a player trying to score; which negated the apparent score. The coach, from the opposite end and the opposite side of the field yelled a few things I couldn't make out, but my partner signalled me to come explain the call, because he, even though 30 yards closer, was blocked out. I did, because I realized the coach couldn't see the foul from where he was. Coach: "Couldn't be, you can't call that, that's the worst", etc. During the post-game handshakes (about an hour later), he says "You cost us the game, worst call I ever saw". A week later, while I was getting ready for the V game, he said the same thing. Get a life!
