ODD Sayings

[bainsey]

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).

That's almost as bad as mine. I got "call it both ways!!!" about 4 seconds into a game once.

I got "Be Consistent" on the first call of the game.

I heard that this week and it was from the team that had 7 fouls in their favor to 2 fouls against them. I almost fell out laughing for real on that one.

Would that mean that ever foul we call would have to be a double foul?

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

JV game, second half. We call a shooting foul against the visiting team, and on the very next possession for V, there's a very similar play, and my partner has a whistle putting V on the line. Immediately after the whistle, I hear the V coach whine behind me, "It was the same thing on the other end."

I think sometimes these guys' mouths are on autopilot.

And you thought,"At least we're consistent."
