A conversation between myself and the varsity girls coach during the jv game...
Coach: "Can you watch for the illegal screens." Me: "Okay Coach, I'll look for them." Coach: "Oh and watch over the back too." Me: "Okay, I'll look for that too. Anything else. Be careful though, you only get three requests. You might want to save one for the varsity game." The whole thing caught me off guard since he's normally not the friendliest of coaches. I was just happy to see him smile. |
Had a coach one night complaining about the fouls being 7 for her team and 1 for the other. Last 3 minutes of the 2nd quarter all I would hear was 7 FOULS TO 1, 7 FOULS TO 1! I walked up to the coach during a dead ball and look her right in the eye and said. Coach the fouls should be even.... But were cheating. Winked at her and walked away. Next time by, she said good one. Never heard another peep out of her the rest of the night.

Had my best liner from a fan to my partner last night...
Hey ref, Hey ref, are you pregnant? You must be cause you've mist three periods!!! We both busted up laughing.. |
Surprise
Sometimes the best one liner to tell a coach after you missed the call and I used it last night, "yes coach he was on the back and I missed the call." Sometimes it is hard to say but it is the most effective way to handle the situation. In 27 years of officiating I have never had a negative response to this comeback!
