Most Hurtful Thing You've Ever Heard From a Coach

Make the comments in your mind. And try not to grin while doing so.

Yes sir.
*Not grinning*

You bring up a valid point though, I appreciate all you guys. I would love to call with every single one of u's, not sure I could afford the constant traveling.

Part of my job is answering any complaints that come into our association. If I get a complaint from a coach about an unsporting "T" someone nailed him with, I usually simply tell that coach that he better know his audience if he wants to make remarks to officials. That works both ways though. Fair's fair. If I get a complaint about an official making wise-azz remarks from that same coach, what's your recommendation for a response?

Let your whistle define your officiating capabilities, not your mouth.

As usual, jmo fwiw.

I was actually being serious, that info did not go through my thought process with regards to what if the coach would been sly at that point, cause you cant t him up nor would i at that point.

SMH at having to look up FWIW.
