I'm Kinda Proud of this Dav-ism

I call a ball-handling violation on A1 right in front of A's bench at the end away from the table. Coach disagreed. He says, "How could you see that from where you were?" (I was about five feet away with the perfect angle.) "Coach, he had his hand clear under the ball." "No, he didn't!!" Play goes on. The next time back in front of this bench, Coach takes off his own glasses, and says, "Do you want to borrow these?" I said, "They're not doing YOU any good, how would they help me?"

He didn't complain about another thing the rest of the game.

Had a similar sitch a couple of years ago, but didn't have your snappy comeback -- wish I had been in the forum then. Doing a BJV game and coach has a whistle in his hand with the lanyard wrapped around his wrist. You know something is in the air when he does that. Middle of 2nd quarter, I am close to his bench when his player player initiates contact and loses the ball. He says "Apparently your whistle doesn't work, want to borrow mine"? I told him, "mine works just fine, let me demonstrate" -- T Time!

I like your comback bettr!
