Here's one from where I live. Happened quite a few years ago, apparantly.
A former OUA (Ontario University Athletics) official (so, he was quite capable) was doing a boys high school (varsity level for you US residents) game and was getting the gears from one of the coaches. After reporting a foul, and instead of going to the trail position, proceeded to go over to the coach in question, and sat down beside him. He actually reffed from there for two trips up the floor. The coach asked him what he was doing and the official replied akin to, "This seems to be the spot for the best looks on the floor, I may as well be here."
And, it worked!
