Two nights ago, during a timeout...
Coach finishes with his players and turns in my direction. "The fouls are 8 to 2." From my spot on the floor, I look up to the scoreboard and wait until the 15 second horn (about 10 seconds). "Yes, I believe you're right."

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
