And they still can't figure out what color headbands, and wristbands, to wear either.

Or why they just got a T for stepping out on the floor to b!tch about a no call on a play 40 feet away while trying to see through 8 other players.

Or why a boy who is 6'10 can LEGALLY reach "over the back" of a player who is 5'10" and still not get a foul.

Geez...had this in travel team ball a few years ago...6'4" 8th grade girl along with her 6'2" teammate grabbing all the rebounds left and right, and I hear the other coach yelling over the back. During a dead ball, I told him there's no such thing as over the back...his response: they're killing my girls for the rebounds. The two were just standing there and the ball was coming to them on the rebound. I almost wanted to die when he said that. I know the father of the 6'4" girl, who used to play college ball and stands 7'0", and he looked at me and just chuckled and shook his head.

As a "Yet to be" ref, but former player and coach, I think some of the frustration comes from the no calls on displacement during rebounding.

I would agree with you if I hadn't seen too many plays where it was a clean reach and the coach was screaming for "over the back," and it happened right in front of him.

Ditto...my scenario, the coach was right there. He was just frustrated he was being outrebounded (or probably because he wishes he had a girl anywhere near 6'). Found out later (from the 7'0" dad) the rebounds were like 50-10.
