Your best comebacks.

This I always thought was the best comeback ever, but it came from a coach to a ref. I don't remember who the official was, but former North Carolina State coach Jim Valvano asked an official once, "Can you T me up for what I'm thinking?" When the official replied that he could not, Valvano said, "Well then, I think you suck!"

Valvano did not receive a technical, in part because the official was trying not to laugh too hard.

If Jimmy V said this, then he stole it from Adolph Rupp. This exact situation was attributed to coach Rupp in a book written by Cawood Ledford(longtime U of K radio broadcaster), I believe.

The dialogue went something like this:

Ref: Coach, if I hear one more word from you, you're gone.

Coach Rupp: O.K., sir, but May I think something?

Ref: Sure

Coach Rupp: Good. I think you stink.

Ref: TWEEEEEEEEET!!!
