I only offered an example of a college game to reference something that people here might actually be able to relate to. If I offered an example of a play that happened locally, you really wouldn't get the reference now would you???
The Shaq line actually had a ;-) after it. That clearly implies a little joke, not a comparison of middle school to the NBA.
Reading comprehension skills are a wonderful thing.

Unless your Shaq
Coach, why are you trying to compare your middle school girls to NC State and Shaq? The rules are different at each level and calls are made differently at each level. You need to compare to last year's tournament games in your middle school district. That is where you need to be. You can't work the refs at this level. Even if you paid to play.
Refs are human, and each game will be called as each human sees fit. Differently, each time. And just a helpful hint. To get the ref's ear, be polite and respectful with questionable calls. That amount of respect will go a long way. But, then again, teaching an old dog new tricks.....This forun is about officiating, and the rules interpretations, not telling us how we should call a game and compare middle school games to DI and NBA. That is a far reach.
