That's the YMCA's fault as far as I'm concerned. I have no sympathy for organizations that pay lip service to "sportsmanship" and "thinking about the kids" while simultaneously letting faux coaches and little Johnny's dad run loose.
And wreck/travel ball officials that sell their souls to make minimal cash working unorganized street ball don't do any favors for the officiating avocation as a whole.
