I was thinking about your posts when I started this thread big guy

Thanks. Where's my check?

It would be almost impossible for me to pick a favorite, but perhaps one of them was the time a coach told me he knew he couldn't have both a zero and a double zero, but would it be OK if they just didn't both play at the same time. This was the same team whose assistant once asked me if it was OK if a girl on their team just put tape over her nose ring. I asked him how she then could possibly breathe. He thought for a minute and then said, "Ya' know, I never thought of that."

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!!"

[whistleone]

Coach: "It sure is getting rough down low."
Official: "I know. I sure wouldn't want to be in there!"

Young official talking to my daughter, she is on defense:

Young Official: Don't reach.....Don't reach....tweet.....I told you not to reach.
Daughter: Reachin' ain't a foul, touchin' is a foul.
Young Official: Then smiles and reports the foul.

By the way she fouled.

Player: "But I did not hold or pull on his jersey!"

Me: "So that number in your hand just jumped off his uniform?"

Best one from a partner all season, and she is a HS senior working a rec game with me just last week:

Coach: (after a game in which only 5 fouls were called) "No fouls? We took a lot of elbows out there."

Partner: "Well you'd better give them back. We can't have kids going around without elbows!"

She should be benched for such disregard of the English language.
