what do you say to the refs???
I suck at talking to the refs cause I got like 4 tech's just from arguring calls in my last basketball team. so any tips on what to say??

Why do you even fucking bother? Why don't you focus on things you CAN INFLUENCE. There is no way you are going to change or influence ref's call. Now just stop making fouls or at least learn from your mistakes.

lol i got so many technicals i forgot how much...
but then again, i actually got 4 out of like 12-15 calls changed.

and what i say to the ref(s) are (i actaully said all of these, and they all got me techs):

"R u kidding me?"

"Are u watching the same game i am???"

"do u want me to buy u a rulebook? cuz i no where to get them"

"i didnt touch him!! it was him, i cant believe u missed that"

and one time i got called for a foul, but really the other player slapped/scratched me across the hand, then i went up to the ref and showed him my hand and said "do u really think i would do that to myself? wow". i once even got a tech after shooting a 3 after he blew the whistle, it went in and landed right in front of him, and then he gave me a tech.

if theres a bad call dont be afraid to speak your mind, i do it all the time and then the refs realize they make a bad call and they pay me back with a bad call on the other team. a couple refs actually gave me free calls, and one time after giving me a free call the ref said " r u happy now?" i started laughing becuase i could tell on his face he noes he made a ton of bad calls.

just dont swear, that gets u ejected (wanna no how i figured that out? lol)

i watched so many nba games that almost every time a guy got a bad call, the refs would make up for him, like they would call a blocking foul but it's definitely a charge. so, i mean, just keep playing, they might make up the call for you.

The thing is no MATTER WHAT U SAY,,, the call isnt gonna get changed, so im just give them a look, like wow ur lame,,

like 2 weeks ago i stole an inbounds pass and she called a tek on me and i was SILENT and she said waived it off which i was shocked cuz i didnt know u can waive a foul or tekk

alright thanks for the advice

ya like one time i got fouled out and half the fouls I didn't even touch the opponent so I went to the scorers table to go into the game and the refs didn't notice til I was half way on the court.

definetly don't argue wit dem. ask em wat u did wrong to learn from ur mistakes? this will also help get u on der good side. if u know u fouled someone, raise ur hand to make it easier. refs like to see dat. also, if a ref makes the right call, tell them. they def lik dat and u mite see a few calls go ur way. thats wat ive experienced.
