Was working a Girls and Boys Varsity double. The home team was good both games, but were aggressive, so they naturally got some fouls. The other team was a little young. For 6 quarters, the foul count was roughly 7-1 in favor of the home team. No one really complained, but was a little frustrated. Finally, in the 3rd quarter of the boys game, I "finally" call a foul on the visitors. It was the first time in my life I got a standing ovation for making a call. Of course, it was in good taste and humor; I found no malice, just playing the refs. I went by the home coach on the way to the bench; he was going, "It's not me, it's not me!" I said, "Relax coach, just keeping me humble." The best part was my partner saw what I was getting, and called a foul of his own. Got a standing ovation, but not as loud and long as mine

Favorite line on a foul discrepency. "Coach, which one of your fouls don't you think you deserved"

Ohhh, muxbule, I like that. Can I use it? I've got a team tonight for the fourth time Yes, I know. But its where the assignor sent me.

The coach for the home team has been wacked in all three games. My partner got him in game #2, but it was me he trailed off the floor at games end screaming about the foul count. For game #3, he hid on the base line while his team did layups, so he wouldn't have to come over for the coach's meeting. Didn't come to the bench until after we were lined up for the jump. I got him 2:00 into the game for screaming that the first three fouls were all on his team. His team plays a physical half court trapping man to man. His team is big, so his opponents tend to play a tight 2-3 zone. HMMMMM.

THe funny thing is that the AD there is an official and when we asked him about the guy, HE CALLED HIS OWN COACH AN A$$HOLE

I'm the R tonight. My coaches meeting should be interesting....or the gutless wonder may hide again.

When a coach says something about a foul count to me, and you can quote me on this, I say, " ."

How do you get him to verify properly equipped and sportsmanship?

We decided while standing and watching warmups that we would hold him accountable if they weren't properly equipped. Sportsmanship is handled in a separate Captains Meeting.

I think he was referring to his maturity level.
