Coach: "You gotta make some calls at the other end!"

I replied: "I will in the second half!"

Coach: "Okay!" And he turned and sat down . . .

Assistant coach, after he smiled and rolled his eyes: I'll explain it to him later."

Boys JV, visiting team gets 6 fouls in the first quarter because home team is driving a lot. No fouls on home team yet. Score is pretty close. Finally there's a foul on the home team called by my partner, and the home coach bellows out "CALL IT BOTH WAYS!!!". Again, that was the FIRST foul called on his team.
I had a coach yell this to me in the 1st Q of a game, I had just called a foul, the first foul of the game....

Along those same lines, Girls JV a couple of weeks ago. Visitors taking an early and commanding lead, but committing the first 7 fouls of the game. Coach's yelling is solely at his players, who are defending with their hands.

Total number of visitors' third-quarter fouls: 0.

Still my favorite story that I wish I could claim credit for saying, but at least I was working the game when it happened:

Coach (after one of his players fouls out in the 2nd period): 5 fouls! 5 fouls in the 1st half! What's that tell you?

Partner (completely deadpan): Tells me your kid can't play defense.

Once, probably about 12 years ago, I had a sophomore coach approach me at half time and say it had been the best officiating he'd seen at that level all year. He was winning.
After the game, he had lost and his team had significantly more fouls than the other team in the second half, he told me it was the worst he'd seen all year.

I learned a lesson that game: get off the court more quickly.

Well, he could have been right if you had let the other team get away with such a play a few times previously. ;)

Of course, he probably wasn't.

Many years ago, the jr. high coach at the school a mile from my house made the following remark after a close loss: "Nobody will ever call you homer!"
Ten years later, the coach of a jr. high ten miles away declared that it just wasn't fair when I called games at the local school. I wasn't a bad guy, I just simply was not able to be objective so I shouldn't be there. Here's the good part. Coaches change jobs a lot and move from one school to another. It was the same guy who made both statements.

Well, they're not actually saying that, but I can read their minds.
Fixed it for ya. (Sorry JRut. :D)

Fouls:
Home 7
Visitors 1

Home coach: "The foul count's seven to one!" Tweet, whack. TF on home coach.
My amigo: "And what is it now?"
I'm not sure I would ever say this in a game, but it made me laugh.
