Official Camp One-Liners Thread

Not a one-liner but I was present when a young college guy bet a Final Four official 20 bucks on a rule question and won. Unfortunately he tried to press his luck with a double or nothing and lost.

Edit: Actually I do have a one-liner. I asked a D1 college guy at my first ever camp what his worst call was. He replied "that's a kindergarten question". Needless to say I now keep my mouth shut.

First thought: That guy sounds like a jerk.

All depends on the context and situation of the question, and the level of camp.

To me, that's a question better suited during an informal conversation outside the teaching environment, and involving adult beverages.

As I was thanking the Camp Director last night before leaving he looked up at me and says to the two other supervisors sitting with him, "This guy can't referee at all....but at least he wears a great shirt."

I happened to be wearing a shirt from a previous year of the same camp.

and your response should have been: "and THIS GUY can't run a camp at all, but at least he hands out great shirts".

Agree with the jerk comment. I would say more than half D1 officials that I have heard asked that question answered with "traveling".
