I do not know if you can expect the best of the best officiating when you have guys working multiple games in a row and you have running clocks all day. It also does not help when everything about the games are modified to keep games within an hour. And most of the time you do not get the best officials working these tournaments at all. In many cases tournaments and leagues like this get whomever (or whoever ) they can get. Most veterans that have been around are not working these games. I worked a tournament this past weekend where every official was hustling because it was a camp to get hired. And we were working 3 Person the entire time. It was tough to do that as teams were running up and down the court and hardly running offenses. I can only imagine what it would be like to work multiple games in a row and only two person with those athletes. Hard to get officials that can keep up in those cases let alone expect consistent hustle.

Peace
