This is the crap that causes officials to quit.
HS... just taking numbers and letting the coaches get the players and I'm not getting near a 6-2 HS player for fear of getting hurt myself. When the parents run on the floor I'm done. This jerk needs to get sued. No excuse. Heck what happened wasn't that bad... just boys trying to be men (women get this analogy).
This is why I do not do middle school at all. Many times we have less than ideal accommodations. I have been to places that did not give a locker room or expected us to get dressed in the public bathroom that the parents use. Sorry, not doing it anymore. Gained enough experience and knowledge to avoid those games like the plague. The same goes for Men's league, they are all the same. I can work a HS game and we have a locker room and some standards. Even in Illinois, we have a Junior High State Organization, but not worth the hassle. I will never do these games over a high school game or any other level for that matter. Just a waste of time.

Peace
