You just described every member of the Oregon legislature.

I don't use some of the verbiage that has been mentioned, but every official is different and I think our normal personalities should come out. I always use the Patrick Swayze approach: Be nice, until its time not be nice.

I will use: "Coach, can you please ask number...", "Coach, please don't yell across the floor at my partner", "Coach, please put your arms down"

After that, they are about to deal with the "T" in Tomegun. Ironically, I probably gave less Ts this year than in several past years. My crew, on the other hand, was giving them out like candy on Halloween.

Yes, that is a Roadhouse reference.

Funny, same thing that happened to me. In past years, I'd assess about 80% of the TFs in my games and wonder if it was just me. This year, I'm guessing it's about 20% and I'm wondering, again, if it's me.

Eh, the season's winding down. Only 8 more games to go.

In this case, when I say crew I'm talking about the twenty something officials that are part of my crew. We have 10 crews for basketball that handle from freshmen up to varsity.
