Also, if they were approaching 100 points and continuing to shoot 3 pters, I guarantee on a few of those, that I would have blown the whistle and signalled, "travelling"...."Coach, she took a couple of baby steps before shooting the ball ! That's travelling! "
I don't think one referee would complain about my "bending the rules" just a little bit!
Well, some of them would, but I wouldn't care!

I would hazard a guess that every
good referee would disagree vehemently with you and your "bending the rules" philosophy. Quite simply, it's wrong. It has no place in officiating a game at any level.
Your job is to officiate. Period! Equally, fairly and equitably for
BOTH teams. It is
NOT your job to judge coaches and players who are playing
WITHIN the rules. The problem is a league problem, not an officiating problem.
Real officials don't cheat.
I realize that you don't care. Unfortunately, you don't care about our officiating ethics either.
Sad!
