One year I officiated a game in the NJCAA regionals in which the losing team (and I mean they got smoked) was from this conference. As my partner (who did not officiate in this conference) and I were leaving the court the losing coach ran toward us and yelled at me that I would never officiate in her league again.

When I got home that night I let my assigner know what she said. I had her four times the next season including three games at home, .

Reminds me of the GREAT umpire line (as a response to that coach), "Good, then I won't lose any playoff games."

But, the coach may not get it since it does require a little bit of thought process.

Just like:

Coach: That's two you blew!

Umpire: Knock it off. You're not going to be around to count to four.
