Worked a girls JV/Varsity double header last night in Illinois. Final score of the JV game was 66-0, home team won. I have never worked a game where a team did not score, not even a 5th or 6th grade game. Only called 3 fouls in the first half as it was also the least physical game I have ever seen. The losing team would actually get out of the way when the opponents would drive to the basket. At least we had the running clock in the 4th quarter. The varsity game didn't start out much better but at least the visitors scored a few minutes into the game. They were down by 29 with a minute to go in the 3rd quarter, but ended up cutting it to 12 by the end of the game against the home teams reserves. Anybody else ever have a shutout in a high school game?

Some might object but in the case that you outlined I don't think that there's any harm in trying to get the losing team to the foul line at least to get some points on the board. Slightest touch on the shooter I will send them to the line. I don't think either Coach would mind.
