Was working as an evaluator at a camp this past weekend. Had a younger official (22 I think) who was explaining a situation to a coach who had been "on the edge" all game. Official was using his hands to demonstrate whatever it was he saw, and the coach is looking at the official's hands when he says:

"Nice fingernails, Princess."

Young official calmly steps away, blows his whistle and signals a T. Never lost his composure, did not get mad - just simply turned and very calmly signals the T. I was quite impressed with his self-restraint.

Or - You're right coach - they send the worst of us to do the games with the worst teams.

Similar to "Hey ref, you're missing a good game!" "I know, coach, but unfortunately they sent me here instead."

That's really a put down of the kids. I would rather not do that. Putting down the coaches is different. They're adults - at least chronologically.
