So we draw the line at the Varsity level in terms of 5 fouls and you foul out ? I agree with you that lower levels of basketball are about learning the game but I also think that part of learning basketball is learning what is and what is not a foul (and obviously the limit you have) . You are just exposing yourself (As a referee)to a myriad of issues if you allow a player to continue on past the 5th foul and being the "good guy" is just not worth it . In my earlier post I agreed that as a parent /Coach I would like to see the player continue to play but as a referee I can't believe that a lot of you would even consider it, especially at a High School level (Obviously this would not happen at the Varsity level....I don't think). I was referring more to rec ball from 6th to 8th grade or Men's leagues . This situation should not be decided by the coaches as it is clearly not theirs to make . It may not be the most popular thing to tell the coaches that the player cannot continue but they will understand and move on . If they really want to even the playing field let 'em go at it 4 on 4
