Did he yell something like this: For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. (Philippians 4:13)

I am really hoping your response was something along the lines of "Fine, you can give your soul to Jesus but your a$$ belongs to me!" Whack!

"Son, Jesus isn't going to give you that call either."

Seriously, didn't say a word to him. I called the T, coach asked me on the way. "He thought we missed a call and swore about it."

Reported it, administered the FT and watched the player tell his coach he didn't do it. I almost want to go back just to work this team's games again.

Had my first FT disconcertion call in years.

I hit an assistant coach with one of those last season or the year before....seems like it was the season that the NFHS had made it a point of emphasis.

Amazingly, I still look/listen for it - but rarely, if ever, have experienced it since.

Defender along the lane, top spot next to the shooter, yell directly at the shooter just before he shot it. We shot again. Partner hears people in the crowd, "Now they're just making stuff up."

Do you ever have the almost overwhelming urge to burst out laughing when you hear that sort of thing? I do, and hope to goodness my shoulders moving up and down give me away.

Things are so boring when you handle them professionally.

I nearly had one a couple of weeks ago during the freshman game I worked by myself. As the shooter was going up for his shot, one of the opposing team's players in the space nearest the shooter started squeaking his shoe on the floor. The shot was good and I told the offender to knock it off and if the shooter missed because of it, it would be on him. Of course the offender responded with "Oh I didn't mean to." Of course not.
