Several of you have stated this is only a JV game. Don't the rules apply to all levels of basketball?
What is the differece between Varsity level or jr high basketball, are the rules different?

I do not think anyone said the rules do not apply. I think that many said that what happens at different levels are much different and consideration should be made for those differences.
I do not know about your area, but a JV game is often just for the kids to have some playing time against other teams. They do not always play the same time. They might not even have much of a halftime. You get people that work the table that are kids or have little to no experience at all. It is played 9:30am on Saturday morning. Often you are not playing on the "regular" gym. You might be lucky if you have "real" uniforms and not the practice kind.
Yes, in theory it would be nice to have security at all games and coaches that give a damn or players for that matter. But that is not always the case. Nor is it realistic. As I stated before I did a varsity game a few years ago where the Sophmore game before had the visiting team that had no front numbers. The officials did not T the entire team for this at all. Which was the proper thing to do. All that would have done is made the officials fight an uphill battle.
