2. Last night... 7th grade catholic game. This guy was a good official, but... towards the end of the game he was allowing subs after made baskets cause "They are down 15 points, and I want to let the kids play ya know". This really perplexed me cause this guy was a good official...

So... I ask you this... Refs like this.. are they helping like they think they are, or hindering the kids they think they are helping??

How and who does this hurt/hinder? The only answer I could ever come up with is the parents -- and I really dont care to much for them when I am reffing.
