OFFICIALS DECIDING GAME

[chels]

HERES THE SCENE:
6th grade boys playing width ways on court.
4th quarter, gold 23,red 23.
With seconds left, gold shoots and misses.
Gold rebounds under basket and has ball above his head.
Red backs into gold.
I call foul,1&1 on the floor.
Time expires.
Gold makes 1st attempt. Game over.
Red coach congratulates me. NOT!
My assignor quotes me the unwritten philosophy,"Officials do not decide the outcome of a game".
I say, a foul in the first quarter is a foul in the fourth quarter. By not calling a foul I screw the gold player who was not allowed to attempt a try at the basket.
I'm tired of hearing the,No blood no foul in last 30 seconds, routine.
If the players/coaches know that's how you officiate then
you leave yourself wide open for big trouble.
Hero or Zero?
