Talking He asked

Mens rec. Good game, clean playing, players just playing and letting us ref.

Toward the end, one of the players on the team that was losing by about 15 looks at me and with an innocent expression, asked, "Why are we losing?"

I said, "Maybe because you haven't made as many baskets as they have?"

He loved it.

A player asks a legitimate question in a polite way, and you give a reasonable answer. Sounds like good game management!

I would have said, "If you really don't know, that's probably the reason."
