The reality is 4th grade is for officials that are just starting out. Most people that officiate want to work HS and/or college ball at some point. Usually the better officials leave this level behind because of parents like you complaining about things that you know nothing about. Parents acting as if these games are going to be life changing events and every call are going to change every game a lot of officials just decide to pass. These games can be a lot of fun if parents and coaches take the games for what they are. Many of these kids will be burned out by the HS years from any sports because their parents think they are grooming the next Michael Jordan or Candace Parker.
