Finally - a coach comment that was funny

[Mark Padgett]

Last night I noticed one team named all their inbound plays after colleges. The inbounder would yell "UMass" or "UCLA" or "Oregon", etc. to set the play.

At the quarter break I asked their coach if this was the case. He said yes. I them asked him if they had a play called "Western Truck Driving School"? He grinned and said, "Yeah, but we're too ashamed to call it".

I don't get it.
Your question was funny...but, his reply?

Anyway, I had a coach the other night tell us a joke before the game.
I might have told it here already, but here it goes again.

Also, this might be fodder for those of you that want to keep your pre-game conferences with coaches brief.
This coach was a visiting coach from out of our district.
I asked him if he had any "Questions, Comments, Jokes"?

To my surprise he said he didn't have any questions, but did have a really good joke. Most coaches just smile and say, "None that I can tell here"...or something like that.
Well, this coach proceeded to tell his joke:

"Hey did you hear why the chicken crossed the basketball court"?
We shook our collective heads.
"Because he heard the referees were blowing fouls"!!
Yuck, yuck, yuck. hardy har har.

"Yeah, that's real funny coach...ha, ha, ha...(sarcastically, but with a grin) have a good game".

Coach was a peach...visitor's won in a close game.
