a HS coach: unbeatable entertainment value!!!
 
Player is in a LGP, with arms straigh up above her head. As the shooter drives towards the basket, those two arms come down, almost at a 90 degree angle, straight on the top of the shooter. The whistle goes off... The following is the exchange between myself and the female coach.
Coach: What was THAT?
Me: That was a foul, coach.
Coach: FAUL??? Her arms were straight up!!!
Me: Yes coach, but then those arms came straight down on the head of the shooter.
Coach: Yes, but that's a reflex, she can't help it!
Me: SHUT UP! B**ch, Bit**, B*t*h!!! Sorry, I have Turrets, coach.

OK, I didn't say that last bit, but I thought it would be funny... I just never had a coach who claimed uncontrolable reflexes for fouling, and I thought she would appreciate a referee claiming Turrets.

I fail to see the humor here.

The humor comes in pointing out to the coach the illogic of her thinking. Personally, I think it's hilarious. I needed a good laugh tonight, and so thanks. (But I wish you'd spelled T-O-U-R-E-T-T-E-'S correctly.}

Sorta like asking a coach if they have Alzheimer's. I knew what he meant. I did not have the same reaction you did.

Kiwi, I think I'm missing something. Where's the funny part?:confused:

Maybe it would have been funnier to have shown her your "T" reflex? :o

OK, So now, it's OK to make fun of people with Tourettes Syndrome, but you still can't make fun of retarded people?

Why don't you post your favorite picture again and find out?

Might be a good idea to have a new name picked out before you do so though. Maybe sumthin' with Bush in it, but different than the previous ones.:)

No, it's not. Only one person has said it was funny, and that was b/c of the irony of the ref not being "at fault".

At least you got something right.
