Good one recently - "That's the worst call I've ever seen." My reply, "So, this is your first game?"

I've had that said to me and I told the coach "you shouldn't be so quick to judge, you should see my whole body of work"

Excellent!

[Brad]

Kinda dumb, but the fan and I laughed...

Fan: "He didn't *mean* to foul him."

Me: "I didn't mean to call it."

Also, best story *ever* goes to Brendan (aka BBall_Junkie)...

Local HS coach in year two of two very bad seasons... Coach requests a time out...

Brendan: "What do you want coach?" (Obviously implying 30 or 60-sec timeout)

Coach: "I want the season to be over."

Brendan: (Without missing a beat) "Thirty second time-out!"

LMAO!!!

[just another ref]

Linus Van Pelt once said, "A soft answer turneth away wrath," or something like that.

Tonight there was a mass of bodies in the lane, a brief skirmish, and the ball trickled out of bounds. Partner whistled out of bounds. I was right in front of Coach A.

He asked, almost meekly, "That wasn't a foul?"

I answered, "I don't know."

He responded, "You don't know??"

"Right. I don't know."

He stood there with his mouth open.

I had one last night that got me thinking to see what others have experienced.

After an obvious travelling violation that the coach disagreed to...
Coach: Where did you get your officiating license, K-Mart?
Me: It was a blue light special.

At halftime of a kids game a parent yells, "Hey ref I found your cell phone. It has 5 missed calls on it."
