And you call yourselves officials?

Unfortunately, Coach, your book don't count. If you wanna collapse on the floor, you had better know who you are collapsing in front of. Let me suggest that you don't ever try collapsing in front of Ref18. And if you even think of saying "damn" when you hit the floor, you had better hope that MTD Sr. isn't Ref18's partner either. Iow, the actual reason that you collapsed on the floor doesn't really matter; what the official THINKS is the actual reason that you collapsed on the floor IS what really matters. As I said "ya pays your money and ya takes your chances".

Somehow, I think that you knew all this anyway. Most good coaches will learn the tendencies of officials if they get them a few times, and they will then use those tendencies to their advantage if they can. That's just smart coaching.
