Excuses For Crappy Basketball Refs
Basketball refs, both in the pros and college, receive a lot of flack from fans about poor officiating. They’ve never really been able to defend themselves very well. Until now.
Here are some good excuses for crappy basketball referees:
-
This is my first game.
- Cut me some slack.
-
Unless a team shoots 100%, it’s not my fault.
- They should’ve made more shots.
-
If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin.
- That philosophy applies to refs too.
-
I’ve been screwing up basketball games since before it was cool.
- I called that hip-check foul ironically. It was a hipster-check.
-
I’m addicted to the sound of booing.
- It soothes me.
-
I think I know what I’m doing. This isn’t my first rodeo.
- When the NFL needed referees, Roger Goodell turned to me.
-
How do you expect me to focus when Kate Upton was sitting in the crowd?
- I think I’ll tweet at her after the game.
-
I’m not even a ref.
- I was just trying to catch the game after my shift at Foot Locker.
-
I had a lot of money riding on this game.
- Also, you can just call me Tim.
-
I can’t see.
- No, seriously. I’m legally blind.
