Middle school tournament last year a kid yelled, "MISS!" Every time his opponent shot, but before the shot. Next break in the action, I told coach that we are supposed to be promoting good sportsmanship. He argued it wasn't illegal. My partner and I told him that it was on our court (that sounds super confrontational and intimidating but we were friendly). Dad of player yelled the rest of the match, "Blah, blah, blah is not really sporting is it!" I chuckled inside every time, lol. Gotta love the younger levels.....
As officials, we have to promote good sportsmanship and fair play.
