Or international tie breaker for you hardball folks out there. Though I doubt this definition applies here.

I've never been able to remember which rule is which when we go to extras in my slow pitch softball games...first tournament this weekend!!

OK, back to basketball.

Visiting coach to my partner: "Since when is that a foul?"
Partner to coach: "Since James Naismith hung a peach basket on the wall."
Coach: "Who?"
Partner: "He's the maintenance guy here."
Coach: "Well how the hell am I supposed to know that?"

In a game where I am doing the 10-sec count from BC to FC and team fails to advance into FC---> turnover; a coach will at times audibly ask "hey was that 10 seconds ref?"
I calmly and immediately reply: "that was 11 seconds coach".
Coach momentarily looks stunned, then abates.

"CALL IT BOTH WAYS!"

"Sorry coach, we're not allowed to do that."

"What do you mean - you're not allowed to do that?"

"We're only allowed to call it one way - the right way - and that's what we're doing."

Finish up the tourney for a local youth league I work. Had semi finals games last night. Coach I have known in this league for a number of years that I have reffed it and he has coached... says to his players, who are on the FT line...."Girls, tonight, we are going to rebound the misses".

As we had a timeout shortly after this, I said "Coach, I heard your comment about rebounding....are we only rebounding TONIGHT or is this a thing for the rest of the tourney?" He says..."Oh, this has been a problem all year!"

His team advanced to the Finals so I think they got it?
