Great reply: "I don't have a cell phone. It must be yours."

Of course, it is much better to ignore the fan. In some cases, that is not possible. http://www.neksports.net/Articles-c-...h_Country.html

I wear glasses, but use contact lenses for officiating.

After showering and changing clothes following a game, I had taken out my contacts in the locker room and put my glasses on before departing. As we were exiting the school, we walked past some parents waiting to pick up their kids and one of the mothers said, "Oh, NOW he puts on his glasses!"

Even I thought that was funny.

I used to work with an official who would officiate mid school games with his glasses on the first half, and is contacts on the second or vice versa.

I can remember in a game I called, where a dad was yelling at his kid, Get our of the lane son...and the kid shouts back, I am on defense dad!!! Everyone heard, really funny.

Or, "Yea, I missed 10 phone calls, so I could pay attention to the calls on the court!"

I had a guy yell at me that I needed glasses. Later in the game, I had an out of bounds play during a time out that was to be put in bounds in front of him. I made it a point to let him know that I heard him but that I didn't need glasses because I had already had Lasik surgery. Didn't hear much out of him the rest of the evening.

Wow, maybe the guy who wrote the article is also a referee:

a North Country fan was tossed from the game for heckling the referees. The man's relentless badgering of one referee in particular led to his rightful ejection late in the third quarter. His behavior was an embarrassment - particularly in a high school setting - and was a shame given the clean play on the floor.
