Some Youth Ref's are terrible. I've considered pullling Teams once or twice. Never did it but it was in my mind for the kids' safety. The primary skill in reffing youth games is to "control" the contact so that "inexperienced" players don't go bananas and start pushing opponents into walls on lay-ups. Stopping a game and warning both squads to knock it off and play basketball is effective.

A Youth Basketball Game shouldn't be a dangerous as a hunting trip with our Vice-President.
