Maybe it was a "Homer" bomb! :D

He did not say it very loud, but audible enough for me to hear it. It was a packed house...so I'm quite sure no one else could've heard him.
Honestly, around here, i don't care if I'm the only one who heard it. If it was loud enough to get a T, it's loud enough to toss for that word. I understand your reluctance, but I would have felt none

Just my 2 cents.
billy was just being billy, something like this he should be told. The fact that he didn't pull his kid is concerning for me, to be frank.

Oh my.......:eek:

You wouldn't call a well-deserved flagrant foul because you were afraid of the reaction.

Yes, "afraid" is the correct word.

Oh my.......:eek:

Sorry, but that player has to go and a report also has to be put in after the game.

Oh my......:rolleyes:

Coach= "What did he say?"
Me= "Ask him."

I usually don't shut down communication with coaches like this unless they've already burned the bridge. I think it's important to have the adults on the same page as long as they're acting like adults.

Yup.

In my experience, the great majority of coaches honestly don't want crap like this coming from their players and will do something internally about it...if they know about it.

If you do run into a coach that wants to wiseazz back at you after you (quickly) explained the "T", just deal with it.

Neither do I. But earlier in his post he mentioned that the coach was livid earlier in the game from an offensive foul that was called.

That policy was just overturned by Congress.

Effective later.

Double technical foul three and a half minutes into the game. Flagrant technical for a punch during a dead ball with 6:10 left in the game. Unsporting technical with 3:45 left in game after kid fouled out.

Only saving grace is that nobody came off the benches after the punch.

Happy holidays. :(
I have heard this scenario before. Probably the same game. Did you at least get a shower afterward?

So ball comes inbounds to visiting team in front of bench, heavy pressure by a home team guard. A big man sets an obvious illegal screen and the guard hits the deck. Gotta have a whistle and call offensive foul. Coach is livid...

He calls my assigner after the game saying I wasn't ready for that type of game, but I recall my call selection, no calls (let them block shots), etc...I was quite happy. Wish I had a game tape to see that play to confirm it was the right call.

Happy Holidays!
That is a lot of players fouling out. I guess each team had a chance to win, so there was no need to whip out the travesty card.

Call up the home coach and ask if you can get a copy. I do it fairly often and most coaches are very accommodating as long as you do as much as you can on your end (send a DVD and stamped/addressed envelope if it's too far to drive and pick up).

I liked the bit from Saturday Night Live last week that had Nancy Pelosi dreaming of the 2011 headline: "Military to Adopt All Gay Policy"

Different sport (soccer), but a friend of mine issued a red card this year to a kid for basically being calling him the same thing. This is a no-brainer, IMO.
