Went to a couple of sectional playoff games last night as I was hoping to see some good basketball, but mostly because I knew all 6 officials.
The first game went smooth with no issues. During the second game, a couple of calls went against team A and the student section started to chant: "I am blind, I am deaf, I wanna be a referee." |
Chris,
They are just being politically incorrect! I'm deaf and I'm a referee! Maybe they should have breathalyzer tests to see if they'd been drinking before the game. |
It would have rhymed better if they would have used the word "ref" instead of "referee"
|
the way they were saying it was almost a song and it sounded ok. At the time it was pretty funny, even the crew had to chuckle. The calls were right, team A was setting illegal screens. Fans don't spend alot of time watching off ball so they never say what happened but the crew nailed the calls.

I think the actual chant goes
"When I'm too old and I can't see I'll become a referee!" |

These are all pretty funny! I'd never heard them before. The best chant I heard was late this year. A visiting player was a bit on the short side and kind of hairy. The student section started singing the Ooopa Loompa song from Willy Wonka every time he had the ball.

While I got a good laugh out of the high school shot clock chant, I really thought this thread was going to be about the students chanting something that is profane or at least not super language.
For example, the crowd chanting bullsh1t. I feel that the NFHS needs to come out with a POE that this stuff will not be tolerated in a HS game and will result in a T without warning. At our state championship game the band of one team was chanting, "These refs blow. These refs blow." The chant was led by the band director, too! I would have T'd and removed the entire band. |

At a regional championship game , the other night, after a bout four or five charge calls, (they were all correct by the way) :<), every time we blew our whistles the student section started going Da Da Da Da Da Da CHARGE . Evidently they wanted all calls to be charge. I found quite humorous
