If a game starts where the official lines up the teams on the wrong side, the tip goes up, and a player makes a basket in the wrong basket, what should happen?

2nd question, If a player sets a screen, the other team's player sees the screen, and elbows the player in the head area while swinging the elbow purposely, what should happen?

3rd question, Should officiating be consistent regardless of the score? I have been told that because my team was leading by a large margin the officiating was going to be favoring the losing team.

#1) Once the officials are aware of the error in direction, they should stop play and correct it, leaving all scoring in tack.

#2) If he swings it intentionally, then it's a flagrant "T" with ejection. If its inadvertant then it should be at least a personal foul.

#3) This is a tough one, but in most youth leagues and sub varsity games, I'm sure most officials may cut the losing team some slack on minor stuff. Of course, any hard fouls or rough stuff should be called to keep the game safe. It doesn't do either team any good to have such a lop sided game. However, I do get tough on the team with a huge lead of say 20 to 30 points (youth games, mostly)and the winning coach or kids are pressing, trapping, reaching and block every shot still. Someday, the tide will turn and it won't any fun to have somone running up the score them. Sportmanship can be shown in many ways. Good luck with your future games.
