Actually, I said something more along the lines of, "Have you ever considered that maybe the reason everybody wants to see you lose is because of your shool's reputation for running up scores and arrogance?"

Now, that's funny!

And, probably the best thing for you to say!

I meant, as an official, I would have told her to keep quiet.

The table officials are partners, and we can't have them making editorial comments on the calls during the games. If its loud enough for the coach to hear, its loud enough for the players, fans, and officials to hear.

To me, this is akin to assistant coaches or other bench personnel complaining about calls, but worse in my judgment.

I have used in HS occassions where I have an administrator:

"tell the lady in blue she has 2 choices. Watch it, or read about it tomorrow. If she chooses the first, it must be done with less MOUTH!"
