Girls games are hard enough to get flow and decent play. I'm not calling every little thing in a girls game. On a side note, you aren't going to get the best referees when this is the level of basketball being played. Lower level refs will miss some stuff. Get used to it dad!!!!!! |

That was probably the worst missed call on the video. Otherwise, lots of marginal "missed" call to good no calls. |

Actually the missed taunting at around the 4:20 mark by black 25 might be the worst missed call.

That and the free throw line violation at the beginning are the 2 biggest misses.

Some of my favorite officials are those who have coached and now referee. You would think they would call too much or nothing. They actually have a great balance and patience with coaching.
All you have to do is buy two fox 40s and have you, assistants, players take turn refereeing for 4 minute half quarters. Your kids will learn how to let the referees do their job. You will learn how hard it is to decide what to stop play for. This will lead you to getting into the book and understand what we are taught for calling plays. This will lead to better discussions with your officials on asking kindly to watch 24 getting her hand under the ball and how that confuses your defender and why she runs into her. I cant agree more that this is not great ball. With the shortage of officials the better ones are going to be working the higher skill games. And you are telling us that these officials only had these questionable calls against you and never for you. Send us the entire film. Go through and see how many calls/no calls helped you. Most important thing you can learn coach is your teams abilities and how they preform are 90% plus affecting you winning or losing. Play the perfect game. Hit 100% of your shots, etc then expect your referees to get 100% of their calls correct. Have you even watched college games. Do you not see them miss a massive 4 step travel after being paid thousands of $ for the nights game. Every level mistakes are made and they get them right. Yet every coach in the world who hasnt refereed is all over them. All it takes is a little time some off season games. Do just a few and quit. You will learn so much that can help your team. I for one appreciate you bringing the video. It just supports us that we do a good job and loses are never ever our fault. Wish more people understood. Thanks for the gems brought up by the above referees. This forums is awesome!

Another thought on the quality of officials in these games. You're going to get a mix of new officials, veterans looking to shake some rust off (or make some extra cash) in the off season, and perpetual travel league refs.
For the most part, you're going to get what you pay for. What you pay also includes the grief you're giving them. I quit working this sort of basketball for two reasons. 1. The pay for those games around here is atrocious. When they start paying a reasonable fee that actually compensates me for my time and not just my travel expenses, I'll consider it. 2. Parents and coaches are horrible. Let's just say their expectations of the officials far exceeds the quality of coaching and play. Many of those games wouldn't be worth the headache at 4 times the pay.

So, see, coach, we're willing to call out our own when we see something that warrants it. |

Lesson learned in all of this, don't come to an officials forum, complaining about all of the missed calls you have compiled.

I was working a girls JV game last night and had a set of fans that were very similar to the chief complainer in this video. Lots of very similar comments such as "That's a travel. Everyone knows that's a travel."
The thing is, I probably passed on one or two real travels all night. The rest? The players were still dribbling or weren't holding the ball. Lo siento Chuck but those aren't travels, carries or anything else. A fan being loud doesn't make him right. It makes him obnoxious. Do you know what my thought process was the whole night? Let me give you a hint, it wasn't "Oh these fans may be on to something. I ought to really consider if I'm missing travel calls." I really hope I never sound like that when my daughters are playing sports. And if I do, I hope a fellow official slaps some sense into me and asks me what I'm doing. But then, there's a reason I tend to hide from the other spectators.
