Oh how perception changes when we have a dog in the race, if you will.

Marginal vs. Foul - all depends on how you look at it through unbiased eyes.

Really?? I'm sure you wouldn't allow this from a HC or AC on the games you work.
I would've dealt with your concern, right AFTER I whacked you for "telling" me what's what while walking on my court. Please tell me you didn't drop the old "I'm a ref too" line on them...

Now he starts muttering things about my son under his breath, yap, yap, yap. I ignore him.

I wonder why
Could there have been a better way to handle that sitch? Surely going onto the court & telling the ref what's what was the easy thing to do. How about calling a TO getting the refs to the table with the other coach & working this thing out??
Oh & yes getting that TO back before play resumes

The Officials needed to take charge and didn't. Neither team reached the bonus in either half! Meaning, neither team was whistled for more than six fouls! In a 13-15 yr old game? You must be kidding right? It was a hack fest.

In most cases the lower the age & skill level, the less experienced all parties involved will be.
And what's wrong with NOT reaching the bonus in either half?? When I get decent partners, most of my games go that way! That sir is not a bad thing, IMHO.

No disrespect, but
ya think?
It never ceases to amaze me how attitudes change during a sporting event depending upon who's playing --- even from our own
Well at least you slept on it before expressing your thoughts.
