Ok, here's my two cents. Rut's entire post would've been fine if he'd just said "This is why I need to leave girls basketball in Illinois alone."
Rut's not trying to rub anybody's nose wrong, and I think it's fair to say that he did do his job. He is simply reporting the FACT that girls ball sucks in his neck of the woods, and does not get the administrative attention it needs to be worthwhile. The same is true in my neck of the woods. I don't like doing girls games, either. Whatever the reason, the quality of play is terrible and officiating it is no fun. But I do it b/c I'm assigned to the game and I do the best job I can every time out.
Maybe I see Rut's true point simply b/c I'm in the same boat, but I think you're way too quick to take offense, or to accuse him of whining and not doing his job.
