I thought those were taken off the market for failure to prevent.

I'm having a normal game, neither coach causing problems. Near the end of the second quarter one coach approaches me with a serious look.

"In the first quarter we were ahead on the foul count 7 to 2. Now it is tied at 8 to 8. Why are all the calls going their way?"

Really, coach? I had a hard time not laughing.

"The other coach pointed out the discrepancy and we realized that wasn't fair, so we evened it up. It's what we do."

Had one particular coach offer me some notable ones today. Here's my favorite.

A-1 is dribbling in the frontcourt, defended by B-2. B-2 taps the ball, which A-1 regains, but his dribble comes down onto the division line. Tweet, backcourt.

Coach is incredulous, so I give him a brief explanation.

Coach replies, "It was a 50-50 ball!"

That one stuns me so much, the first thing that came to my mind was something I posted to this forum this week, and I wound up saying it.

"This isn't soccer, Coach!"

A new one tonight....

3:30 remaining in the 3rd quarter. I'm by the visiting coach who starts complaining that he wants us to call the same thing fouls against the home team that we were calling against his team. Not really that usual of a statement except for the fact that to that point in the game we had called his team for a grand total of 3 fouls....yes 3 fouls in over 20 minutes of play (the home team had 5 for the whole game at that point).

C'mon Cameron, you gotta call it both ways!
