Heard that one before!
Never to be disappointed...anytime there is a big difference in foul counts the coach whose team has more will say one of the following:
1) You are not calling same game on both ends of the floor 2) You and your partner are not on same page 3) You are letting the other team play more physical. What else have you heard from coaches?

"CALL IT BOTH WAYS!"
"Sorry, coach - we're not allowed to do that. We are only allowed to call it one way - the right way - and that's what we've been doing. Please don't ask us again to call it the wrong way."

I don't hear it, and when I do, all the comments sound alike.
Once I hear it, I address it. Simply saying, "Coach, we're not talking about the foul count" normally works.

Had this happen in a JV girls game the other day.
Inbound from the backcourt endline, I'm new lead. Inbounds pass is tipped and goes out of bounds, and neither my partner or I know who touched it. Partner eventually rules it as Team B's ball, and I'm not sure why. I go over to him to find out what's going on... he says "White #15 told me she touched it last, so that's what we're going with." Ok, then, fair enough. A couple plays later, I've got a foul call. I report it, and coach politely asks "how'd the other team get the ball on the inbounds play?" "Well, coach, your player told us she hit it out of bounds" (sputtering). "I don't care about that! This isn't about being honest!" All righty then.

The best line I heard from a Coach was at the end of the first half. His team committed 15 fouls (according to him) and his team's opponent had committed two fouls. He asked me: "What I am supposed to tell my players?" My response was: "Stop fouling."

Coach: "Ref, the fouls are 7-1"
Ref: "Yes, coach. And your team has 1". Coach: "Oh" and sits down quietly. Yes, this really happened.

Had an official day to respond with, "what should it be?" He says they usually just zip it because they don't have a response.

The best I've heard wasn't the phrase itself, but the situation...
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.

Usually, if there is a big discrepancy in the count, there is a fairly obvious reason for it, if one cares to see it. Several years ago, I had a game at the home of a very highly ranked GV team playing a considerably weaker opponent. The good team was up-tempo and pressure all over the court, all the time.
End of the first quarter: Home 23 Visitors 7 Fouls: Home 7 Visitors 0 Complaints: none

Just tonight, Girls varsity after a flailing action that I caught out of the corner of my eye (and admittedly missed) the coach says "Oh my God, she's killing her down there!"
I respond, "Coach I might've missed one, but I'm watching it now" Coach: "She might have whiplash! Her father's that chiropractor, you know" Me: "Well then she should be fine, right?" Coach laughs it off.

Last night a coach who is notorious for complaining said "their reaching." I said "they sure are Coach." He got agitated and said "well call it then." I said "I can't it isn't illegal." He give me the look of complete disbelief and said "yes it is." I told him to "show me and I'll call it every time." He never did show me.
