Well, if you want to be a ref in the future, you should probably change the way you look at things - maybe explaining some of the calls and why you think they're "bad." When you're the scorekeeper - make sure you keep your mouth shut in regard to the game at hand.

That said, the ref might have been wrong in this particular case. Had A1 returned to the floor? If he had, then any contact would not be a foul unless it was flagrant or intentional. If A1 was still airborne, then this would have been a shooting foul - count the basket, one FT for A1.

However, considering this is a middle school play and the timing between hoop and contact was very small, a common foul (while not technically correct) might be the best call.
