This really happened years ago in a game at Clemson.
Coach to official, "hey Carl you can take that ball and shove it up your BUTT", official to coach, "coach can I let the air out of it first". That was the end of the conversation. ^TD

I overheard this one:
Coach speaking to wing: "When I was a Cpt in the Army I saw a bunch of inept folks running in stripes."
Wing: "I was a MGySgt in the Marines. I out rank you. So don't try and pull rank on me."
I'm not military, so I had to ask after the game: doesn't an officer out rank an NCO?
Response: How many Cpt you think there are on a typical Army base (or 'camp' - whatever they are called for Army)? On the other hand, how many E9's you think there are? I salute Birds & Stars.
