Dumbness - players, coaches and spectators

[Oz Referee]

What's the dumbest comment that you've had a player, coach or spectator yell out to you?

Mine is probably the following exchange that I had with a player:

Player screams for foul on the shot.
"He got you on the hand" I said
"But hands part of the ball" replied the player.

This was followed by deadly silence by me, s dumb look and "well duh...what are you whinging about?"


On the other side of the coin, my brother was playing in a team I was an assitant for. He drove to the bucket, got an elbow to the head that resulted in a cut above the eye (which needed 6 stitches). The call by the referee?

"Offensive - you headbutted his elbow"

I kid you not!
