"I don't know what that means." (LGP)

[zm1283]

I had a GV game yesterday where I called a PC foul on the V team as the Trail. One of my partners told me that as I was reporting, the H coach was asking him why we weren't shooting free throws.

This was the same call where the V coach asked me what her girl did. I told her she used her forearm to displace the defender. She told me "That hasn't been called all weekend" (This was a tourney). I just told her that I hadn't been there all weekend so I don't know what or wasn't called.

I stopped coaching after over twenty-five years (if asked today, I would only coach a team of orphans). I'm still officiating, and plan to keep doing it as long as I'm healthy.

Took me a second, but that is funny!!

Its a sad statement regarding the current state of affairs regarding student athletes' parents.

There it is, a coach that stepped it up.

Aside to fiasco, look at the quote again. That's what I said.

Then I can absolutely understand the coach's confusion.
