Coach Reveals His Stupidity

[Texas Aggie]

Do you think it would be fair, in that case, for someone to call you stupid?

It happens to me every time I hit the floor or field and, no, I couldn't care less about it.

I've made some tremendous blunders that only I, or I and my co-official(s), even knew about.

Forgot about this one:
BJV game, 2nd half. V1 shooting two free throws. First one barely hits the rim, and he sees it's about to happen so he starts to run into the lane for the rebound (on the first of two). He may or may not have entered early (I'm lead), but the wildly missed free throw makes it a moot point anyway.

H coach, from 75 feet away: "Lane violation! He can't go in before it hits."

Me when I should have been quiet: "Coach, he missed it anyway." I'm not sure he got it. Honestly, I think it was just a brain fart on his part, as he seemed pretty knowledgable throughout the game.

For a second time in the BJV HS game, I called an obvious player control foul against coach A's team. Coach A's yelled response to my the call the second go around was:

"He was so far underneath the basket, have you never watched college basketball before!!!!"...

Ah, the number of punch lines that come to my head...

Everytime a coach asks me....."Was that not a foul?......Did he not travel?"

Now if the whistle blew, would it not be a foul or violation? I never understand these questions.
