Thanks for sharing your insights. Of course these are probably less experienced officials. Stupid of me to forget that. But that's exactly why I guess I have a problem with a coach that has a mindset of "let's see how much we can get away with". I don't watch to watch my daughter shove a girl into the first row of chairs behind the basket to see if the officials will let it go. Nor do I want her doing that because she's thinking the girl she's fouling will probably only make one foul shot at best. Heck, at this level, on a good night there's only a 50% chance she'll make that uncontested layup. Also, using the example I originally used, does the fact that no foul was called on the punch, does our point guard think she can get away with doing that again? Why not, since it didn't even get her a foul the first time?
I feel much better now. Thanks again for the advice. Mick, especially, for showing me the perspective from the coaching side.
