Kind of want to get some feedback before I describe last night's 7th grade Girls B-Team game.

I can NOT stand officials who just want to get through it as quickly as possible. If they don't want to be there, they shouldn't have taken the game (and that is OK). Sure you may not call some things but that isn't to get out quickly, it is because it is what is appropriate for the game and the skill level. If you call a few things, the kids, even at those ages, will learn.....and they'll get better in time.
When the score is so lopsided, yes, the calls may not be 100% equal.....how much movement is a travel, how much contact is a foul....the threshold might just not be exactly the same for each team. Each game is different.
