This is a true story, I couldn't make this up. Many years ago, I was asst. varsity coach. I thought we got the short end of the call and during the beginning of the timeout I glared at the official who made the call. WHACK! The head coach asked what it was for. The official said, "He gave me a dirty look." Swear to God. And I didn't use any arm or finger movements, just glared at him. Ever since that game, the head coach told me before a game, "NO dirty looks tonight!" The irony is, that official and I are now on the same FB crew. :)

I had an assistant coach that was giving us dirty looks from the huddle (when he wasn't making comments from the bench). He did it one time to me during a time out; rather than whack him, I just looked at him and put the whistle in my mouth. He got the message, and was fine the rest of the game. Sometimes they just want to test that line.

One thing I have found out is that women like good "floor play". You have to be careful not to try to dunk during the pre-game, though.
