Trave-mockery

[Cyber-Ref]

Boys 13-14 rec game. Team A clearly better than Team B. First half lead climbs to 20+ points and league rules force a running clock mercy attempt.

Second half, Team B flat out quits and applies token defense at best showing no interest to get back in the game. A-1 starts to showboat by excessive dribbling with no attempt to score. Crowd starts laughing, enjoying the comedy routine. We have a travesty-mockery a trave-mockery.

As much as I love the game and strive to contiuously improve my officiating, this sceene was tough to take. The action produced no fouls or violations and I don't know of any delay of game rules.

I wanted to call a time out and tell the coaches to get their teams to compete, but didn't know what would be appropriate to say.

The running clock ended the show but I was concerned that the hot-dogging would turn the game ugly (fortunately it didn't).

Has anyone experienced this, and how did you handle it.
