This was a BOYS game! I'd never seen anything like it.
Just curious...Nevadaref, what was the T for?

I gotta tell ya...around here, there is an unwritten rule.
If a team is getting blown out, i.e. 98-4, the team whith 4 can do no wrong.
Of course we would not allow unsporting behavior...and, short of picking the ball up and running down the court, there wouldn't be to many close calls go against the very out matched team.
And you coaches that want to press with a 94 point lead...I tend to see a lot of contact on the steals.
Never referee the score, always referee the game. I've ejected a coach when his team was down by 30-40 pts. He expected us to give his team a break because they were loosing, but his team was hacking away at the other team. The score shouldn't influence your calls.

And in relation to my last post, i misunderstood the earlier posts. I thought the supervisor was shouting at the officials.
