Even out the fouls?

There is no upside imo in making smartazz remarks to any coach or player. All you're doing is opening the door for that coach or player to make smartazz comments right back at you. It's kinda tough to nail a coach for doing exactly what you're doing.

Jmo.

It's all about professionalism. How can you defend an official who decides to stoop to the level of the coach? The answer is you can't. If a coach becomes an issue, you can never go wrong with the time tested method of warning (if applicable) then whacking. IMO, that official in the OP was just as in the wrong as the coach.

Besides, either the fouls are even or they are odd and the next one will make it even.

I had a game once where we got to 14 to 1 in the fouls.

The team with 14 was shooting 3's and not getting fouled, while the other team continually drove to the basket.

Not much we could do....

Excellent call
