Four scariest words from a player

Did a mens league game the other day and this is the first thing a player told me when he showed up to the game . I should have left at that point .

I hate to say it, but I don't get it. What was the first thing he said?

After a timeout the "ref" comes to take out the ball and says "I still retain the right to run the endline...right ?" I look at him really funny and say "sure you can run the baseline....but I will call you for the violation" . He then tells me that I am wrong and that he can run the baseline and I really don't know the rules . I will be honest and say that I was so shocked by this whole conversation I didn't even T him up or say anything for that matter .

I'm glad you didn't T him, b/c you gave him a smart*** answer. I realize you did it b/c you thought he was joking, but snappy answers often end up biting you on the butt.
