Chris, you wouldn't have escorted me out because I never got abusive (as I said in my post). I did utter the occasional loud "No way!" or "Oh, come on!" I had a mild contretemps with a college kid ref when they neglected to check the arrow and gave the ball to the wrong team, which scored. I was the loudest of several in pointing out the error. But all I did was point out the error.
Why so defensive, folks? I saw the error of my ways. Don't you believe there are bad refs at this level?
As for the block/charge, the refs call about six blocks a game. In fifteen games, I've seen maybe three charge calls. These refs insist that the defender's feet be perfectly still. And no flinching, even if the kid gets clobbered by a dribbler flying along with his head down.
