Here's some new Davisms from the past week:

Player: "He's all over me."
Ref: "Then get a room."

Player: "Can they bark at me like that?"
Ref: "Yes, unless you're a Canine-American, in which case I might consider it to be an ethnic slur."

Coach: "Did you see that?"
Ref: "Yes, coach. Twice."
Coach: "Huh?"

Coach: "What do you call that?"
Ref: "It's called a henway."
Coach: "What's a henway?"
Ref: "Oh, about a pound and a half."

Parent (after game): "Blah, blah, blah, etc."
Ref: "Hey - your proctologist called - he found your head."

Needless to say, these were all rec games. :p

Saturday morning, I was working one of the most brutal 7th grade girls games you've ever seen. I had to teach a rookie parnter how to "call it both ways" the way Dave taught me years ago!!! Nothing like a good mentor!!!

I'm going up the backcourt as trail and some daddy says, "Call it both ways!" I look right at him and say, "next time, I promise that I'll call it both ways."

Tweet...foul!

Look at White bench--"Blue, 24, block, two shots."
Look at Blue bench--"Blue, 24, block, two shots."

Thanks Dave!!!

Sort of funny!
 
I sort of find your comments funny but it is not my style. If it is comedy hour act like a comedian but when comes to officiating, act like an official.

Oh no, now you've done it. How long till a certain coach starts a new thread and calls you unprofessional?

It's not people acting like comedians--it's their personality. And whose to say what an official is supposed to act like? The #1 comment I always get at camps is have fun out there and little one liners like this make us have fun.

And I guarantee, coaches have more for us refs than we do for them. And some of them are hilarious!

Its all about perspective. And coaches have fun with one liners as well.

Case in point... Working boys varsity Team A has a decent record and Team B a horrible record. Team B has a first year coach with a decent future and a young team. Team B in the first quarter turns the ball over on the press 3 consecutive times on dumb passes. After the third easy lay-up in a row, I am table side at the trail getting ready to be new lead again. As this was the third lay-up in 30 seconds of play I am ready for the TO request and I get it. I hit my whistle and indicate TO. I ask the coach what he wants and he says, "I want the season to be over!" as he pats me on the backside. I say "OK coach will go with a 30 as that will help us get to the end of the season just a bit faster!" He had a quick chuckle.

As stated before, humor is not always appropriate but in the right spots its a good thing. Those that think they have to be serious all the time are missing alot. You can be proffessional and have fun all at the same time.

If you aren't having fun 99% of the time while your on the court. You shouldn't be on the court;)
