If Raymond is implying that they are lying, I can agree with him under many circumstances.

However, between poor coaching (lack of rules knowledge and/or lack of teaching) and poor officiating (lack of rules knowledge and/or lack of enforcement), this statement may be true in some circumstances, especially in games below the varsity level.

Officials, players, and coaches (let's also throw parents in the mix) are all to blame for this, I'm just not sure how to proportionately spread out the blame.
