Wow, I never heard it.

Nor I. But it's dumb enough to become wildly popular.

Well, I'm no trend setter and am certainly NOT going to bring it up!

I hear it on a regular basis. Is that a bad thing?

When the old geezer officials start using the phrase regularly, I'm willing to bet the kids drop it in a heartbeat!

I would favor an automatic T for any player (or coach) who immediately states "and 1" after every contested shot.

Ding ding. Also one I've heard during the tournament was "that's a tough call as they were both going for the ball".

I handed out one Saturday for that very thing. After the HC was asked to keep his ACs silent.

I love watching video of the game and hearing the "And 1" and seeing clear video evidence of no foul... it gives me a laugh.

Had a situation this past Sunday where A1 passes the ball through the lane and it goes through untouched, A2 grabs it in the backcourt. My partner calls backcourt violation -- A2 explodes screaming it went off 's foot... I mean he was soo adament. I watch the tape and I mean its not even close, doesn't touch anyone or go within a foot of anyone.

Out of my area :-P

No cursing, just adamant yelling at my partner. By the time I came up to take the division line throw-in he had calmed down a little... although he did get a delay of game warning.
