Chastized by player

Last night, boys Var. Visiting team is 0-11 and has traveled from out of our area to this game. So my partner and I want to make sure that we're on our games; don't want them to feel their getting "homered".

Fast forward. . . 3 minutes left in the game and the poor visitors are down by 30. Coach never said a peep, he knows he's just being out-played. Home player drives the lane and gets clobbered right in front of the rim. Partner and I both have a whistle. As my partner goes to report, visiting player says to me -- absolutely serious -- "We're gonna lose this game if you keep calling cheap fouls like that."

Unbelievable.

Are you *sure* he wasn't joking? I know I would have treated it like a joke and laughed at....err....with him.
