Boys JV game tonight. Visitors cruising to an easy win. Hadn't heard a peep from either coach. Clean game; not difficult to call.
With a 25+ point lead and 10 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, visiting team scores a bucket. V coach hollers for a time out. I'm trail near his bench and immediately grant. I look at him for a signal (30 or full). I swear all I did was look. Look and wait momentarily. But I must have raised an eyebrow. What I hear from him, said loudly, directly to me with a defensive tone, sounds like this: "I'm not running up the score. I'm just trying to get these subs in the game, so you can glower all you want..." I wasn't sure what a 'glower' was until I got home and looked it up. I guess my gaze must have been intense. I remain impressed with V coach's vocabulary though. ![]() Sven |

Glower
: to look or stare with sullen annoyance or anger.
I have worked with an official that does have an intimidating scowl that could also be labeled as a glower. It could have been worse. He could have called you a "glowering bloat"
