Missed travel sent the JV game into OT (and then a 2OT)

Was there any discussion (or any time for discussion) with the jv officials about these situations. It appears there may have been opportunity for a couple "learning moments" here.

What about the missed foul in the first half of the varsity game? The one the guy in the non-collared shirt missed? The one the fanboys in the stands and the other coach yelled about.

How is that worse than a JV official missing a travel?

You're funny. If you saw some of the lower level officials we see around here, you'd stop trying to defend them. It's a $40 paycheck for many of these collared shirt, white sneakered, belted Docker guys and if I tried commenting about their work, they'd look at me like I had 3 heads.

They come off the floor, we come on. With no association, it's unlikely I'd see them again. JV officials are usually local guys who will never work and have no desire to work a varsity game.

It wasn't a well-officiated game. I watched both overtimes from the corner. This travel, though, was so blatant that we got a good laugh, is all.
