My first words in the locker room would be simple, "WTF was that?"

Or go off on him like Earl Strom going off on Dick Bevetta that one time...someone posted the story somewhere on the forum.

Freddie, when you say "afterwards" do you mean after the game - as in while you were in the locker room? Or did this guy actually say this to you right there on the court where the coaches/fans/players/table crew could hear what he said?

If he said it in the locker room, have at it with him...let him know exactly what you think of his comments and attitude...and then let it stay right there. It ends with that discussion.

If he said it on the court during the game where others could hear, then you need to be contacting whoever is in charge in your area or State, and let them know exactly what this guy said.

Either way, I would have said something to this official in the locker room. Not that you need to be confrontational, but you do need to sometimes set the record straight. And if he still disagrees, move on. This definitely would not have gone unchallenged or without some further discussion on my part.

Peace
