My son played in the state intramural championships this weekend. The officials were students from the colleges represented who reffed at their respective schools during the intramural season. They were even running 3-person crews. At every quarter break and between games the officials would get together with site officials and discuss calls, etc (at least that's what it looked like they were doing). It was pretty cool, and a good way to train the next generation of officials.

On one particular play, an official called a foul, and while the official reported the foul there was some milling about by the players. When the officials administered the free-throws the wrong player was at the line. Since it was my son's team, and the player standing at the line was the best shooter on the team, I figured they were trying to pull a fast one. To the officials' credit, they caught the problem and put the correct player at the line.
