BTW, I bet they didn't teach you that at a high school camp. One of the biggest problems in high school basketball today is that too many officials go to camp, come home, and try to apply college mechanics, philosphies and rules to high school basketball. For those who do this, give us all a break and stop calling HS ball. You're just making it more difficult for the rest of us.  [/B]

an even bigger problem is that some officials dont go to camp. therefor they stay stagnant and do not get any better. highschool basketball is a good farm system for people who want to get into college. even at some highschool levels the level of basketball is college level. therefor an official must up his level of officiating and "evolve" with the game. these plays that i write are difficult to get correct if you have never seen this level of basketball. i write them to stimulate and thought provoke your mind to understand athleticism. play calling is harder than applying rules. judgement is another factor that seperates college officials from highschool. if you care to move up at all listen to ero39, and drake m. they have great advice. and for those of you who dont care to get better give the kids a break and stop calling highschool ball.
