Obviously there are many violations that tend to go unpunished.

The reason?

I believe that players look at the NBA and College games as standard setters (officials too?) and I guess use the non-calls there as a guideline.

How can a HS or lower official really uphold the rules and call these violations when the people who these players strive to emmulate get away with the same things?

The fans/ parents think: "Hey I saw (insert NBA player name) do that very same thing and they did not call it, why is it different for my kid?"

IMHO change would need to happen at the top and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Back in my cage.
