I try to work all of my high school (v and non-v) pretty close to the same. I look at the non-varsity high school games as a place where players learn the game. If you are not enforcing the rules as you would in a varsity game, how can we expect them to understand how to play at that level. For example, last night I worked a Freshman g/b doubleheader. In both games we were shooting the double bonus early in the second quarter. During halftime, the coaches explained what was being called, and the only reason we had bonus free throws in the second half of either game was because of the score dictating a fouling situation. I just feel that at the high school level, they should be playing by the rules. Obviously there is some advantage/disadvantage called especially if you have a couple of really, really bad teams, but I try to stay on the same page as when I work varsity.
