Exchange during post season
I call a fifth foul on a player in a close game. As I am reporting, I can hear coach start the questioning. The table tells me it is the players 5th foul. The following is almost verbatim what happened next.
Me: "Coach, 5 fouls on player X" Coach: "Just tell me what he did." Me: Take a couple of steps back toward the table and say, "Start the timer." Then turn and walk back to coach. Coach: "He had 4 fouls he was going away from the shooter." Horn Sounds Me: "Coach you have :15 to sub someone." At this point the coach gets a sub in the game and we move on. I never once responded to what he was saying or asking and when it was over, we were both happy. He obviously did not want an answer to his question. He wanted to voice his opinion and displeasure and I wanted to move on. We both got what we wanted and neither of acted like an idiot. ![]() |

I had a small college game in which my partner had T'd up the home coach. Then later on my partner tried to give an ear to the coach on a different play and it turned into a long, drawn out dialogue. So a little while later home coach catches me when I'm Trail on free throws. He says "can I ask you a question". I responded "no, you lost that privilege" and walked away from him.
