Referee ≠ homer

Partner doesn't respond.

So as I'm chopping the clock as the throw-in is touched, he says, "You guys haven't gotten one right yet tonight".

I should've said, "Well, then you're really not gonna like this one. . ."

I didn't say that, but I did pull out the T.

Later in the half, the coach says to me, "I didn't even say anything to you to get that T." I repeated his comment to him verbatim.

He replies, "First of all, you shouldn't even be listening to that." LOL

You've undoubtedly seen "The Rules," that email that goes around and purports to be a written copy of the unwritten rules that women hold men to (including my personal favorite, "If any man ever learns any of the rules, the woman must immediately change some of the rules.")

It seems that coaches have a similar list of rules that we officials are expected to adhere to, even though we don't know what they are.
