You're right. Mom- these have all been things we wanted to say to parents on the court but we are professional and walk away.

Without seeing the "tape" I'll be this offical missed alot of calls like:

1. Over the back
2.High dribble/ that's a carry
3. They're reaching in
4. That's a kick
5. The ball hit the top of the backboard- out of bounds
6. You can't slide on the floor with the ball- travel!
7. The ref made the call that cost us the game!

If you are as interested as you say, pick up a rule book, From you're post it doesn't appear you have. Then search this site for rule myths.

I have coached girls this age. They are not incontrol of their bodies yet. They have long nails and push and shove alot. The scrathes and blood are part of the game. I would bet that if you checked the girls on the other team they have the same scratches and bleeding. There is no way 1 official will see that happen. Besides it is an accident and calling 100 fouls won't stop it.

Take this as a learning experence and then teach your girls to make lay ups. 2 made lay up and you wouldn't have posted here.
