I've used this many times with coaches I've worked with and opposing coaches that think they should have had the last AP. The look on their faces is always priceless.

You could carry this a step further and tell him [or her in that 1 in 10 situation] that he can have 3 of the next 5.

Legal opinion

I sought a legal opinion on the issue. Denny Crane reckons shoot the coach. In cummer leagues this is an attractive proposition: you think I'm a bad ref? Let me show you a bad ref...

I look the coach dead in the Eye and ask "Are you accusing me of cheating??"

I usually get the whole back pedal thing from the coach.

But I have had one say yes I do think your cheating....Needless to say he read about the final score in the paper.

I know some on this site will say I baited him...but he's way way way over the line already even making that accusation.

I know someone who asked this question to a coach

"Coach, you accusing me of cheating?"
"Nah, you aint cheating. You're stinkin' up the place both ways."

He never asked again.

Jmo, but a good rule of thumb is to never say anything to a coach that requires an answer. That way you don't have to respond to those answers that you don't like.

Iow, just state something....in 10 words or less.

This blurb has been in several of your recent posts. It could mean one of 3 things. 1. You like using the term; 2. You are exhibiting a parody of JMO from the 'other' board; or 3. You have an alter ego.
