My saturday game where I T'd up Coach A, we came down to the other end of the court and were shooting FTs, I'm standing near Team B's bench and Coach B is saying things like "You don't have to worry about me, ref. You and me are friends", etc, obviously trying to get on my good side.

Do you tell him to be quiet or just ignore him? I hate being treated like I can be 'bought.'

The most that would get out of me is an "I hear ya, Coach" followed by me moving slightly away from him.

"Coach, you're scaring me."

[Jurassic Referee]

"And I think that you're the second best coach that I've ever seen."

-all the rest are tied for first.

"Sucking up does nothing for me,.... I do accept $10's and $20's though ...."

j/k - I would love to say that to a coach.

Ever ask the coaches if they want to buy foul insurance?

[deecee]

is that similar to fowl insurance that my uncle used to get for his prize winning gamecock?

I would probably laugh and walk away.
