I can tell you what is frustrating from a parents perspective is that most refs have zero humility, and act as if they are never ever wrong. Around here they do not answer questions.

You wont understand until you put a striped shirt on and actually try to referee. Sometimes a referee gets too close to see the whole play. sometimes the referee sees the whole play and the whistle just doesnt blow. sometimes there just not very good at it. Everybody is a great referee from the third row. If you really want to understand, go out and try it.

It may not be practical for you to actually try to referee. But what you can do, and what you should do, is take a stand against the idiot yelling at the girl bringing the ball up the floor. Parents like this ruin youth sports. It doesnt help the girl he's yelling at and im sure his own daughter doesnt think much of his yelling either.

Ball was tipped away by White 4 before coming into the front court, thus it never had front court status.

I don't really see a foul by White 4 before that, but there was one by White 34 before the girls went to the floor.

As for the foul in question, the official probably didn't get a good look at the forearm by Red 21. Looks like he might have been partially straight lined with Red21/White4

Good point. He got a look, but not a good look.

Still team control. Red dribbles it while having FC status and what we're talking about is if the ball hit the line or not. The tip is irrelevant

That's a foul on white #4. Whether you want to call it or not is up to you.

White4 puts her arm up, but I don't see any contact with it. Maybe you do.

7-8 second mark you don't think there is possible contact between red21's shoulder and white4's elbow?

Not from the angle of this video. Maybe from a different angle I'd be able to make a better judgement. I do see a foul on White 34 though.

It took me four viewings to see the contact the OP was talking about. During my first three viewings I thought W4 lost her balance and fell on the red player.

As JRut said....it's girls basketball.

Exactly, to me that has the most negative impact of anything I saw in that video.
