Coach sat on a ball the whole game.
I hadn't seen this before. Youth tournament, 6 games in a row (some guys worked 9 or 10.) The best team in the girls division ran a great high post offense with very good cuts to the basket and everyone could handle the ball. The odd thing was the coach sat on one end of the bench on a ball for the entire game.

6 games in a row is too much...did they not have enough bodies to work?

This is normal where I am at and NO we really don't have enough people to avoid this. Sat I did 6 in a row, 1 off, 2 more. Sunday 6 in a row and home.

In a couple weeks we have 2 tournamnets in two cities 4 miles apart in two states. One is girls the other boys. They get teams from miles away because they advertise the use of registered officials intead of volunteers. To cover this we will average 10 games/day. This is MS 6-8 "elite" teams.

Is "elite" considered above or below "competitive"?

These are the supposed "all star" teams from cities. Kids may go to different schools in a city and be on this team for tournaments.

pretty routine here also...some of the guys/gals will go all day, hour long games, 2 20 minute halves, running clock, etc.....one guy did 12 in one day!!! i did the last four (i'm not as young as i used to be!), and during the last game one kid (6th grade) verbally protested a foul. my partner said, in a not so quiet voice,"now is NOT the time to question my calls..."

lots of guys do 6-8 games...i don't like to do more than four. but, what do you do? our pool is shrinking, and no one wants to ref.

He was obviously trying to hatch a new point guard to run his offense. Any animal husbandry specialists here this morning? Anybody know the gestation period for basketball hatchlings?

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "Hey. Just sit on it, Coach".
