Funny things you hear from coaches and your partners..........

[MCJB Ump]

Just after requesting a full time out.....

Coach: How can we have 14 fouls and they only have 4??

Me: Coach, tell your kids to quit fouling.

Coach: What???????????????????????

Me: Tell your kids to quit fouling.


Time out ends, team breaks the huddle with "1 2 3...........NO FOULS!!"

[Terrapins Fan]

me: "(confused) what have you got?"
my partner: "I dont know, my whistle just went off"

Z is that you? I was doing a game my first year and I was watching the action and I thought to myself "No, I'm going to pass on that" , a second later everyone stopped. My partner came running in and says " Whatcha got?" I said " What do you mean?" he say " you blew your whistle, What do you have?" I said " I did? Oh, a foul on 21 blue, position here"......I didn't even know I blew it....

My favorite thing a coach said all season- " Call it both ways!", It was the first foul of the game.....

Working a youth game ( 4th grade ) and coach can hardly contain himself ( ready to explode) , acting like it is the NCAA championships :

Coach : " That's a travel , you HAVE to call that ! "
Me : " Coach you're right ... tweet " ( His player had the ball)

Didn't say anything the rest of the game.

Partner got off a brilliant one this morning in our 8th grade boys rec game.

Spectator: "WHERE'S THE FOUL??!!??"
Partner: "Apparently, only in your imagination."

The only thing that would have been more brilliant would have been if he would have continued, "You know, like your sex life."
