I am new to the scene, and don't want to be known as the guy that gives out Ts like candy. Round these parts, I think the coaches get way too long of a leash and I "try" to fit in. I also have very keen hearing, unfortunately. I am working on zoning it out, but I do hear nearly everything on the court from players, coaches, and fans.

I appreciate all of the responses, but I think I'm going with, "That's enough coach." Followed by whack-city where they are the mayor. I like, "I call them, not count them."

I got a chuckle out of a coach when I slipped and said, "Well stop fouling then." I think you would need a relationship with the coach to say this.

Really? Too long of a leash? You're not seeing the right officials, then.

IIRC, you're not *too* far from where I am...

I have two standard responses when it comes to a coach bringing up the foul count--my relationship/experience with the coach dictates which one I use.

'Matt, the foul count is 6 to 2'

Option A - 'We're looking at both ends, coach.'

Option B - 'Your team is three times as aggressive (you have to be able to do some simple division to use this one...but it works with the right person!)
