That doesn't make your husband's behavior any less appalling. We have no way of knowing whether the officiating was bad or not. But your husband sets a bad example for his kids by yelling at the officials.

There is no basketball rule that addresses this situation. It would have to be addressed by a league rule. But, evidently, since the young man was officiating the game, there isn't a rule against it.

Now, it is inappropriate for an official to officiate a close family member's game, no question. If there's a league board, then you should bring the situation to their attention, so hopefully, it won't happen in the future.

But don't look for the suspension to be overturned. That's not going to happen.

Sounds like bad behavior by a lot of adults, which is unfortunate for the kids involved.
