Coach: "The Fouls are 7-2!"

[coachgrd]

This comment from coaches has to be one of my biggest pet peeves. Invariably it comes from a coach whose team is on on the short end of the score. You never hear a coach with the lead saying that. Coaches who say this are simply trying to find a way to justify the score without admitting his/her team simply does not know how to defend. Everytime I hear an opposing coach yell that I am tempted to say "Well, if you'd teach them how to play defense, perhaps the foul count wouldn't be what it is." Sorry to state what everyone already knows but as I said this is without question, my biggest peeve with some opposing coaches.
