Last Monday, after calling a PC foul. I got the "what, the defender wasn't even set."

Funniest thing that I saw on a court was this summer in Vegas.

I was in the first row observing a game that a buddy was working. He is the Trail and A1 is trapped by B1 and B2 deep in the corner of his backcourt. A1 tries to squeeze by down the sideline and B2 cuts him off. There is bang-bang play with the ball squirting OOB.
The Trail strongly calls it "White." B2, wearing the blue shirt, is dismayed with the decision and asks the official if he can double check.
The Trail tells the kid, "Sure," pops the whistle back into his mouth and blows it. He again points in the same direction and says, "White."

Now he turns back to the kid and says, "Yep, that's what I thought."

I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of the bleachers.
