I ran into the coach of the winning team shortly after our game and he said: "Hey, you didn't suck as bad as usual tonight." Life is good!!

Sounds like you see this guy more than once a season. You'll probably have the opportunity to "suck as bad as usual" when his team loses next time. Hey, we're only as good as our last game in a coach's eyes!

That's similar to the comment I got at the first of the Jr. High girls season in October. Coach thought I missed two travels on opponents and was expressing displeasure with my no calls, down on the other end I called his team for a travel. On the way by, he says "at least ya got one right". Some say I should have T'd him, but I have him no less than 8 times this year, he'll get it sooner or later. I just smiled at him and laughed, really thought it was funny.

Good goin'!
 

I'd take one of those every day.

After my first game ever I had a coach tell me "At least you sucked equally for both sides".

It would have been nice if he would have just lied and said "good job" or simply walked away.

We are impartial and consistent. :)
