Does anyone else have these types of "schools?" We seem to have a lot of private "Christian" schools popping up with numerous D-I and D-II prospects?

Worked a game in a tournament today with a few such schools. AAU super teams. Coaches in my game felt that any level of contact should be allowed, palming and traveling shouldn't be called, subs didn't have to go to the table,....IOW, the rules really didn't apply to their teams.

Guess what? We don't roll that way.

In the first half, we blew 30+ fouls, numerous palmings and traveling calls for illegal jump stops, a T for dunking a dead ball, a couple of subs sent back to the table, warned both coaches to stay in their box...you get the pic.

In the second half, the fouls were 5-4 with a minute left in the game, coaches stayed in their boxes...and we continued to call palming and traveling.
