Probably didn't want to get booted for future games by the AD.

Last night I had what was (pretty much) a snoozefest. 60ish to 30ish, 3 person girls. Highlight of the night was when the winning coach said to me (with 1:30 left in the game), "You know, Rich, the game isn't over yet...." after one of those scrums in the paint so common in girls games where there's a lot of contact, but no fouls.

I tried not to laugh out loud.

This guy always says crap like this at the end of games when we decide that contact on one of his precious players doesn't amount to a foul. The only part of it that annoys me is that I work 100% from the time we walk on the floor until the final horn and, for some reason, he's insinuating that we don't.

You're not alone then, because it seems that girls basketball games are the same no matter where you are. Emotional players, coaches, and especially fans.....more so than in boys games.

I've heard several coaches this year do this (usually girls coaches). They don't say much at all most of the game and then when they're down 15 with a minute left they start with these types of comments. Very annoying.

I had just the opposite problem this year. Well not really a problem, not really annoying, but just downright odd. Small school girls varsity game. New head coach. Young woman, probably mid, late, twenties.

She doesn't say, "Boo", to us the entire game. Close out of bounds plays? Nothing. Close block charge situation? We could hear crickets chirping. Rough incidental contact puts her player on the floor? Nada. She sat on her bench almost the entire game, occasionally standing to coach her kids. Never said a word to us after the pregame coaches, and captains meeting. Not a single word. Really.

Sounds like a perfect situation. Right? Wrong. She was freaking me out. Really. She was freaking me out. I've been doing this for thirty years, and she was freaking me out with her silence. Thinking about blocking out her school next year. Man, she was really freaking me out.

Do you have game film? I might have a certain someone close to me that would benefit domestically from this type of behavior!
