Sometimes they are the only ones looking when I tell 'em, "First horn."
Sometimes I answer their questions during a dead ball walk-by.
Sometimes I ask them to remind the head coach where the box is.

They don't have poison ivy or sumthin', ... do they?

That's about how I treat em' too Mick. Works for me. Sometimes I even tell them that their team is out of time-outs so I don't interrupt the H/C when he is talking during a time-out. They can be useful little buggers at times.

I thought a couple of Vicadin and some Yak & Coke would make it go away.

I can disagree with something you say.

What a novel concept, I sure haven't experienced that before in my lifetime, neither in the real world nor the military one.

If you have such a great sense of humor (dry or not) maybe you should try using it reading my posts sometimes.

Do not blame what I said to you on reading your posts. I made one comment early in this thread and you kept bring up that point. I had long moved on from that point. Maybe you should practice what you preach.

Peace

I irony of some of your posts never ceases to amaze me, even in a drug/alcohol induced state.

Just say no.

BadNews and JRut, I have a 13 and 17 year old. You guys sould like them arguing about 5 years ago.

Both of your points belong in YOUR game. Just agree to disagree and stop all this squabbling. Now hug and sing with me...

I did not create this post for the approval of BadNews or anyone. I created this post to tell a funny story and so people could hear how a coach remembers something that many officials could give a damn about. There is nothing to agree or disagree with ultimately. If BadNews or anyone does not like it, there are measures you can take to not answer to this post. I think certain people have issues with the fact that people do not do things exactly like them or look at the world through their narrow eyes. Personally I do not care how people handle situations because I will not be the person that is going to tell them where to do their games. So if you have a huge problem on how I handle people, you will not have to work with me to deal worry about it. I am not going to be told how to do my job with all the training and advice I have been given by officials who have accomplished a hell of a lot more than anyone here.
