IT IS 4TH GRADE BASKETBALL. You are lucky to get anyone willing to work the game whether those are officials or those are people willing to work the clock. Most of the parents spend all their time complaining than getting involved and helping out and volunteering to do these jobs. You are also likely to have officials that are just as new to the game of basketball from an officiating point of view as your kids are when they are trying to learn to play. I played when I was that age and I could not tell you a thing about any game or who officiated those games. Stop complaining about the officiating and the clock operator and let your kids have fun. You will set a better example if you just let them know they are having fun than treating these games as a chance to get a D1 scholarship. My God the basketball is bigger than most kids. I am surprise they score at all half the time.

Peace
