The response is a lot milder than I expected to be honest. I miss Jurassic, he would have known just what to say in this thread.

Pretty entertaining replies!
The bottom line for this dad and others is: If the officiating sucks (in your opinion) then understand the teams playing are probably not that good and the better officials in the area are out calling the better games. On the flip side parents and coaches still complain about the better officials.....so welcome to this thankless profession. It is what it is.

You don't want "better" officials. They would have most of the players fouled out for the crappy defense and you would most likely have received 2 T's because they aren't going to deal with your childish behavior.
You should be happy they find enough officials to work the games.

As for the video... some plays were incorrectly called, some were correctly called, some could've gone either way. It happens. If I ever have a game where I get every call perfect, I'll retire. |

The OP needs to get some stripes and get on the court. You will learn very quickly how much of a difference the angles you have on the court are much different than from your seat in the bleachers.
The main thing is, just chill out and enjoy watching your kid play. She will be out of HS soon and you will miss it terribly. And trust me, not one of those officials gives a damn who wins or loses those games. |

There certainly things here though that should be looked at just mechanic wise and we can do better. I work with a veteran official that is near the end and we get in trouble on these types of games where his mechanics go away. Don't think its hard to stop the clock on every whistle and body language thats poor makes us an easy target.

Correct! Forgot about that one. That video made me dumber by watching it. Maybe it was the idiotic commentary!

Reffing bad basketball is tough. I did happen to catch the score where the OP's team was up 33-9 and still complaining about a no call. I would bet money that the officials called 30+ fouls and 15+ violations in that game.
I have been in blow outs where the "minimum" was called (still 30+ fouls and 15+ violations) and I am okay with this as long as the game was fair; meaning the level of contact and what is being called a violation was consistent for both teams. There are a couple of no calls in this video that would have met my minimum threshold and I would be embarrassed to see video of me not getting it or getting it wrong; whether it be from me not hustling, not focusing on what I should be, or just deciding "why bother". This does not excuse the OP though, the video is in very poor taste. |

I still stand by my points, I'll just change the number to dozens. I'll add that I've never had a high school coach (varsity, JV, or freshman) ever complain about a missed FT violation. Not to the point where he'd include it in a video proving how bad the officials are. That probably added to my assumptions.

Last night, I had a JuCo coach who was up by 20 complain to my partner that an opponent shooter was crossed the line to quickly (not as blatantly as the one in this video) on a free throw where I was the C. So the next time that player was on the line I walked up to him and told him to remember to not to step in too quickly.
