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.

That's fine, coach. I just need to know how long a timeout you want.

I bet you'll never glower again!

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"

Coach had a unique way of doing things. I have often seen subs called back to the bench when the time ran down this low. (sorry guys, next time) Was the final 2 minutes played without a whistle? Perhaps next time he could start sooner trying to get the subs in the game.
