Lol...the 1% reference is a biker term. I have a Harley...but, I CERTAINLY wouldn't be considered a 1%er. In the 50's a politician said 99% of bikers were good people...thus the biker gangs took on the tag of 1% ers. Check out a Hell's Angels leather vest sometime...you will see a 1% patch. On second thought don't get that close.

With many years of officiating, and in my other profession, working with clients in their homes, I have a multitude of axioms that guide my actions in various situations. One of the most useful is:
"What I don't say and when I don't say it, can often be more important than anything I might choose to add to the conversation." Admittedly, there are a few circumstances in which a bit of comic relief has been very useful in tense situations, with players, coaches, and others. However, following my own axiom, above, I will choose to not recount them in this thread.

Lesson Learned
I'm not much of a "smart alecky (sp?) comeback" guy on the court, but Friday night I just couldn't resist, so . . .
Me: Off-ball foul from C, middle fourth quarter away from the bench. Coach just about to get running clocked: Can't believe it (of course, he wasn't looking off-ball either). Me, reporting: "White foul, twenty-two, team control, red ball OOB." Coach: Who's been chippy all night, but nothing to merit any warning or anything; "How can you call that???" Me: "Coach, did you have a better look at that one?" (Of course, he didn't). Coach: "No, but I've had a good look at all the other calls you've made tonight, and I'm going straight to my computer after this game and give you the rating you deserve." Me: "..........................." And my partners and this guy's AD all thought we did a very good game. Next time, just a blank look will have to suffice.
