Just wondering if anyone out there had a link to a site or a list of quotes that officials have said to players and vis-versa - in the heat of battle.

I have heard of a old time referee that was FIBA qualified and had an answer to every single smart-*** comment a player said. They say he wrote them all down so he could remember them at a later date.

Does anyone know where i could find a list like this. I've exhausted google and other sites but haven't found muchh at all.

Cheers

I believe it was ex-NBA official Richie Phillips (and someone correct me if I;m wrong on this) who said to a coach who was arguing about a blocked shot/goaltending play said. . . The ball had yet to reach the apex of its parabola towards the goal, therefore, there is no goaltending. I always kinda liked that one. His advice was also to use big words to coaches, because most of them wouldnt understand. (No offense coaches. . . )

Richie Powers was the referee who said it. Richie Phillips was a lawyer and the counsel for the first referees' union in the NBA back in the 70's- the NABR.

Wasn't there a Richie Phillips who was the head of the ML baseball umpires union as well, and got canned?

I think he was the same guy who gave the Yankees that controversial home run when the ba$tard kid reached over the fence and took a routine fly ball away from Baltimore's Tony Tarasco in the playoffs.

Rich Garcia was the ump involved. Jeffrey Maier was not a ba$tard, he came from a very nice family, just a little overactive is all.

Richie Phillips was never an umpire. He's an attorney who represented the MLB umpires.

Rich Garcia made the call in the Yankee game.
