Not in my games.

For instance the big strong kid is allowed to back down a smaller player like Shaq does, using his butt to move the smaller player out of the way and any attempt to hold his ground penalizes the smaller player.

Is this what is being taught in officiating or has it just kind of evolved?

Neither.

Is the youth official encouraged to allow the physical play that is seen on TV?
|
No.
I don't know where you are watching your games, but I'm sure I see more youth games than you and that's not what I see.
I'm not trying to be confrontational and I appreciate your input and participation here, but don't lump all officials into a category.

I agree I do 6-10 youth games a week. And I don't see any of this, and when I do I put a stop to it right away. I use these rec leagues to work on my officiating, that way when I graduate from Highschool I can ref Highschool and hopefully higher then that. I ref these rec games as close to Highschool as I can for their age group.
