Hi davis and welcome to the forum. As Mark (kind of) alluded to, you're going to see a broad range of officiating talent in those youth leagues and AAU games. You'll get some officials who have been trained well and have some good experience, and you'll get some officials who are just starting out or who learned about basketball by watching the NBA on TV.

Trained, experienced officials will most likely not allow a larger player to push another player under the basket. While you may see some of this (and I see it to a small extent at games that I occasionally observe), hopefully it isn't allowed in the majority of your games. It should not be.

Again, welcome to the forum. Hope you'll stick around with more good questions.
