This.

I've had a couple of officials not be truthful about something either on or off the court (when he blew a whistle, what he saw/didn't see, what the coach said, why he is late, one guy lied on his state registration form, etc.). This lack of integrity makes it impossible for me to be a partner with such a person.

Lots of officials will make stuff up when they whiff a block/charge call to make themselves sound like they made the right call.

I don't like it either, but do you block them all?

Hahaha. Actually my experience has been pretty good. An overwhelming majority of the officials I've worked with in these youth tournaments are good officials
