Coach should worry about his job, not your job. I tell them that and will continue to do so.

I also tell the player, "Let it hit." I do that so when I call a violation I can point back to what I said earlier.

I knew of a sorta punky kid back in the 80's who would always tell the official "So what happens after I make it"? when an official said this

I'm willing to bet that smart-azz l'il sh!t hasn't changed one bit either. They never do.

Hopefully, they replied, "Duh, you score a point."

I think "duh" is a little more recent. As I recall, in the 80's we said, "uh doy." But of course all colloquialism is local...

If memory serves one official said something similar and the reply was "But what do we do after that since we can't play b/c I didn't miss" The quote may not be perfect as I am getting this second hand! I remember him as such a clever young man
