6th grade rec, lower division, team down 20 - you let it slide (with a wink to the crowd) because you are there to let the kids play a fun game of basketball with a reasonable standard of officiating that recognizes the level of play and the seriousness of the players. 6th grade competitive (travel/select - you choose your term), you call it because you are teaching serious players that are going to play serious ball, quite possibly for a long time. Teach them now.
