I have been officiating for over 30 years. I have worked many games with my son but we weren't starting out together. It is always fun. He has moved away but we always get together a couple of times a year to work a varsity game somewhere.
Concerning rough play, you need to take control of the game. Last Friday the teams played extremely well and we called only 12 fouls until the last two minutes when one team fouled often while behind late in the game.
Monday night, same officials, called 50 fouls. The difference was that Monday the teams wanted to reach, not move their feet on defense and push a lot. We call what we see.
No complaints either night. The coaches all knew what was going on.
Keep your chin up--it will get better. Promise.
