Talking Why didn't I think of this?

Ran into a buddy at the grocery store last night (literally - with my cart) and we started talking about funny things we've heard and said at games. He's reffed for about 10 years including in our local kids rec league.

He said he had one game last season in which a kid had kind of a "goofy" dribble but nothing technically wrong. The opposing coach yelled "He can't do that!". My buddy replied, "Why not, coach?" The coach hesitated a little then said, "It looks bad." My buddy came back with "If looking bad was against the rules, then you wouldn't be allowed to coach."

He said the coach stared at him for a few seconds then started to laugh.

Good one.

Back in the day when I used to ref right much volleyball, our supervisor would often remind us "ugly doesn't necessarily mean illegal" (speaking of some crazy volleys, returns, etc.). I have kept that in mind in several sports, including basketball, and it has helped far more than it has gotten me in trouble.

Illegal Doesn't Necessarily Mean Ugly ...

Along those lines, sometimes it is unfortunate that we cannot penalize ugly. For that movie poster, someone should be shot!
