10 Second Backcourt Violation

[Hugh Refner]

Or the one they use on every call against them - "call it both ways". Gee - I wish I had a nickel for every time I've heard that.

Earlier in the season, I heard this one......17 seconds into the game after one of my P's called a foul!

As I reported a foul, apparently against her boy's team, a lady in the stands yelled, "Call it both ways!" With the foul I had just reported, the foul count was 8 to 5, in favor of her team . . . I smiled and looked at the scoreboard. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man, seated near her, go over and talk to her. . . She didn't say a word for the rest of the game.

Then there was the coach who yelled at me, "You gotta make some calls at the other end!" I smiled, and replied, "I will, coach, in the second half." To which he answered, "OK, then!" and sat down. As I moved away from their bench area, his assistant said, quietly, to me, "I'll explain it to him, later!"

I had one where a coach was complaining about the foul count...."The fouls are 7 to 2!!!" Me..."Coach, your team is the one with two". Didn't hear another word from him.

Had a coach do that to a partner this season when the count was 8-3 in his favor. Some coaches are just pre-determined to complain. SMH

We probably dodged a bullet as a crew Saturday because of a comment one of my partners made to a coach about the foul count.

Middle of the 3rd...count is 7-1 against him and he asks my partner (who had just reported a foul) "How is it possible we have 7 fouls and they have 1?" My partner said "Because we have passed on things that should have been fouls against your girls."

I have to remind myself numerous times per game that "silence cannot be quoted" because I have said many things I shouldn't...... I have never used the line you quoted above, but I have responded to the same question with "Because your team has fouled 6 more times than your opponent"........and as soon as I say it I think to myself that I need to just keep my mouth shut or talk with a little more tact.....
