The assumption there is that I voice the two out loud which I do not. I refer to my anonymity comment above in that I'm able to say more here without the consequences.
My message to the kids is that regardless of what the refs do or do not do they still have to play the game, make the baskets. We lost a game by 6 earlier in the year where they were sure the refs stole it from them and were quite pissed about it. I pointed out that we missed about 10-12 layups that had nothing to do with the refs. They shut up and since then we haven't lost.
