Too many players on the court

The misapplication of one rule does not mean an official shouldn't enforce another and call a technical foul when warranted.

True, but in this case, it would have been prevented.

Well, sure, if any of the previous three "mitakes" hadn't been committed, it probably would have prevented the mistakes following. I just disagree that #4 is a mistake like the others.

My take on the OP gives me the same impression.

Coach,

What did you yell to the officials?

"Can't you f**king count?"

I cannot believe we are holding officials that are working an AAU Middle school game at a high standard. Scared to all a T? Four mistakes? I am sure the officials working the game were not the best officials around the area considering this is an off season middle school AAU game. Just an observation.

Peace

I agree with that.

So what? It doesn't change that mistakes were made.

Granted, these officials might have less experience, but if they're worth anything, they will have learned from the situation.

And Rut, where did it previously say that the officials were scared to call a T? Snaq said spineless, but that's it. You're adding information that has no history or place in the thread. In fact, they did issue a T: against the coach who did know the rule!

I don't think we're commenting on a standard...just analyzing a situation presented by a coach. It wouldn't be very useful to say "Ah, just an AAU game...they're probably not good officials....who cares?"

oh wait...I see that's part of you signature.
