Best line from an official in a long time
The linesman on our crew got off this line a few weeks ago when working with a coach who was a well-known whiner. Finally tiring of his carping, our L simply said, "Please don't help me officiate any more."
Polite, and to the point. Of course, the coach told his spotter on the radio, "He just told me to shut up!"
One note I might add to this thread, although we officials can laugh at some of these quick comebacks, we must recognize it is a very fine line to walk when providing a smart answer to a coach. One of the best adages to remember is "No one can misquote silence."
