I will tell you what, Mormon church ball is something else!!! I grew up playin it, and don't mind me if I post my best ever story right here. We were playin this team that we just hated. They could never beat us and it just pissed em off. Well, one day we were playin, and there had been some pretty hard fouls. So one of the refs says, with about 3-4 minutes left in the game, "One more hard foul, and we're calling the game right where it is." Well, we were up by about 3-4 if I remember correctly, and they get a break away. My brother catches up and just slams the dude to the floor. Game over, and because we were ahead at that point. We won.
That being said, that is also where i got my start reffing. Did that on Saturday mornings while I was in college. Then I started doing rec leagues and high schoool ball once I graduated and had more time.

And I'll bet that your officiating isn't much better than your sportsmanship.
This is what I don't understand about Mormon sports - civility, and proper care and concern for others is absolutely not a part of the activitities. Competitive high school players have more maturity and show a much greater level of sportsmanship than I've seen in Mormon basketball.
And Mormons seem to be proud of this infantile history/attitude - brag about it, establish a website of the crimes, do it some more, physically beat the snot out of them, pick on the little kids, steal the ball from the invalid. Yeah baby! That there is a devoutly religious man. Dispicable is the only word I can come up with for it, without greater thought.
