I gotta admit, I got off a good one tonight.

Coach: Hey, ref, you're missing a good game.

Me: What, you've got a TV back there?


Cracked him up! And of course, he left me alone the rest of the night. Felt great...

Juulie - nice variation. Take a cookie out of petty cash. However, as you well know, the Davism for this is as follows:

Howler Monkey: Hey ref, you're missing a good game.
Ref: I know - but I was assigned to this one.

Here is mine from earlier tonight. Team A had a player who towered above everyone else. He must have been at least 6'8". On one play, he reached his arms over the head of a defender to get a rebound.

Howler Monkey: He's over his back.
Me: He's six-eight - he's over everyone's back!

Last night's girls' varsity contest. Coach wanted a travel in the backcourt during rebounding action. When we get back into the frontcourt, assistant says, "You gotta blow the whistle." The head coach says to me:

"Are you watching the same game I am?"

In my head, I said, "I don't know, Coach. In the game I'm watching, you're up by 25 with 2 minutes left and your assistant is about to earn you a seat on the bench when I whack him. Is that the game you're watching?"

In actuality, I said, "That's all I want to hear from your assistant, Coach".

I was very disappointed in myself. :(

After hearing the head coach yell "Traveling!" for the third or fourth time last night, my partner Kermit,(no, he's not a frog)had this converstaion.

Kermit: "Coach, if you're going to call traveling, you need to blow your whistle, raise your hand and stop the clock first."

Coach: "But I don't have a whistle."

Kermit: "Exactly." :)
