What about Shaq playing in the 50s? If we called all contact fouls then a HS game would probably take about 2.5 hours to do.

If Shaq's free throws are bricks now, just imagine back in HS, heck it would take all night just to chase those things down.
Starman, please take a minute to review the thread on... how most people see us. While I certainly cannot comment on what you saw, I will admit that not all of us have our "A" game every single game. If you saw refs having a "B or C" game, you shouldn't catagorize ALL High School Refs for the entire state. Hey, if you feel you're really onto something, don't get all sesitive and shut down. Just think about how you phrase your comments and make sure you're not complaining to us as we already hear enought of that.
