I'd believe it. Last week, on Monday I had a terrible JV team. At one point I call a pushing foul on them because after an offensive player took a 3, the defensive player (from the terrible team) pushed him about 4 steps oob. Coach asks what happened and I explain that the player had great position, but instead of holding that nice box out, the defensive player pushed the offensive player back, which is a foul. The coach says, "That makes sense, we've had that called about 4 times and I didn't understand the call." I get the same team at home AFTER the varsity game (weirdest double header I've ever worked). One of my parners calls one of the home players for a push when the kid backs the offensive player pretty much out into the hall. Coach throws up his hands and yells, "That looks like a good box out to me." No wonder his team struggled. One of his players fouled out of the varsity game in the late 3rd or early 4th quarter. He also fouled out of the JV game in the first half, playing 6 minute quarters. So on the night, the kid committed 10 fouls in right around 4 quarters of play. Luckily I have one more JV/V double header left with 2 very good teams. I'd hate to end the season on the mess we had Friday night.
