not to sound arrogant -- but i will -- generally you learn all you can up to a certain point at each level then you rely on the next to teach you more.
I have learned what i can from this level and the biggest thing I have learned is that I am done working them. just personal preference. The only youth games I do (younger than high school) is the AAU variety. And for the most part I treat these like a HS game.
Calling 50 travels and 3 second violations is great for a week or so. whats next -- well i got the held ball covered thanks to frosh/soph girls (big shout out for that) and I got the block/charge really covered with the boys side (just much quicker than the girls -- the block charge in a mens game IMO can be the most difficult call to make).
So I am not saying the game ISNT important -- I am saying in the grand scheme of things and all basketball games that the LOWER THE LEVEL = LESS IMPORTANT because A BOYS VARSITY GAME WILL NEVER BE ON THE SAME PAR AS A 7/8 GRADE GAME -- and I DONT CARE ABOUT THE KIDS SO THERE I SAID IT
