I'm not a big fan of making smart remarks to pissed-off players, coaches or fans at any time, anywhere.

But that's just me.....

I agree, if they're obviously pissed. Dis-arming humor can be used to effect at times, but it must be used cautiously. I'd never use it on a player I didn't know relatively well, though. But if it's an adult league and I've dealt with this player regularly, I'd consider it.

It's me too. About the only smart remark that I may say to a coach, is when the coach believes that we've made a mistake using the possession arrow. After the ball is put into play, I'll say, "Coach, I promise that you'll get two of the next three".

I learned this on the Forum. I would love to know who "invented" it.

I'm of a similar mind. I'm not a big fan of working rec leagues at any time or anywhere.
