Thanks for your orginal post. All of the comments helped me in would will be a similar situation for next week. I will be reffing a small Christian school vs a potential state chanmpion team. Already word has come to me that the better team intends to set a state scoring record and a state record for holding an opponent to fews number of points scored. I have wrestled with this delima all week; how do I want my crew to handle these games. I realize we officials have no business coaching teams while reffing and we should not dictate how the the game is played or the score. That being said, I am anticipating a 100-150 point spread in the SV girls game and the boys game won't be much different. I really would like to know how you guys would handle a game like this? Just let it happen? Tighten up the foul line particularlly in backcourt? I am really dreading these games on Jan. 9. Thanks.

Despite what you may feel emotionally, the most professional thing you can do is to just officiate the game straight as an arrow both ways.
This way, all the focus will be on that coach for his total lack of sportsmanship, and no one will say a word about the officiating trying to even out this or that.
