I understand...I've played competitive organized basketball all my life and I have a lot of respect and working knowledge of the game so I tend to expect the same respect for the game from officials. Unfortunately, it is hard to find in rec leagues which I'm now forced to play in - even though they're fairly high skill level leagues. When I play in leagues with obviously certified and experienced officials I definitely express my appreciation for their presence at the end of games. It makes the game a lot more enjoyable all around.
