Sounds like you may have had an 8th grade C referee. While good referees do those games at times, you can't expect all that much.

Sounds like you should be volunteering to train the officials for the 8th grade C-ball league.

I sit away from the other parents for my kid's games and just laugh at them.

The parents, that is.

I've done that. Then again, there were FOUR fans for our team at this game... and about 10 for the other team. No one to sit away from.

My point doesn't change. You're usually not going to get great referees at the MS level.
