AAU vs HS are called in a totally different way from my discussions with ref's who are actually friendly. Rules violations are not to be called. rough play is allowed and only marginally dangerous fouls will be called because the schedule must be kept. I have been flat told out by ref's there will be home cooking bias against out of town teams. Now in HS I think its more caused by crowd energy than any real bias but in AAU that seems to much more prevalent.
when you see the same violation 20-30 times in a game you do have to wonder why its never called.

Some officials just refuse to call a travel unless it is so grossly obvious that it looks like a running play in football.
As for rough play, unfortunately, you get refs of the mentality that they just want to cash a check and get home. Their games turn into a brawl and they blame it on the players/coaches. It isn't about keeping it on schedule, it is about being lazy. If the directors want proper games and are worried about schedule, they'll schedule differently or change the length of the games if they are getting behind.
Home cooking...not in any game I'm on. I don't care where a team is from, I only see plays. But, it could happen.
