We kept telling them to stop reaching, but kept calling the obvious fouls. That's about all you can do right? Is it acceptable to talk to the coaches to clean it up?

side note: one of the coaches was all over me because I didn't call a bump that he thought was a foul, and in truth it probably was a foul, but in this game it was incidental (if you know what I mean). To make it worse it was a 20 point blowout.

Totally brutal game.

You think you had a game for hell! Read this: A Real Cluster F**k in the 8th Grade Game!
