That's a tough situation, Brian. On the one hand, it's probably a low-pressure situation in which to see a lot of different types of plays. On the other hand, newer officials will not get to work on "sharpening" their floor game (reporting fouls, switching, administering FTs, etc). But on the other hand, they will get practice at calling fouls and violations, which is just as important as the mechanics.
So I guess I'd have to see it for myself before triggering my own gag reflex. But I would agree that if there is a more structured middle school league for them to work, I would point them in that direction.
Thanks for the explanation.
Chuck
