I think you can see a lot of us have been there and done that. Most experienced officials have no desire to work these games because they are nothing but a hassle night after night. That being said, I have told my assignor that I will only work these games with another senior official who goes in with the same philosophy I have. Whack 'em early and as often as necessary. Hoefully, since most of these games have running clocks, the idiots will realize that the clock still runs even though we're shooting free throws. The worse they behave, the more whistles get blown, and the slowere my partner and I get putting the ball back in play. These leagues are bad news because the players, and I use that term loosely, usually don;t have any concept. How many times have we heard, come on let us play, followed by "you gotts call that" from the same player on light contact situations. Good luck in getting officials.
