A mixed bag of fan complaints and level-headed thoughts (some) are here.

Three pages of comments (and counting), and in the OP the guy admits he hasn't seen a game....

Nice, someone ought to respond with, "I don't actually know you, but you're an idiot."

Pure, unadulterated ignorance from top to bottom in that forum. Typical fanboy nonsense.

I especially liked the fan comment "I don't have to take a test to know a travel or a foul when I see one" when responding to another comment that nobody on that forum could ever pass a rules exam.

Why would you even post that link here?

Some of it was quite funny JR. This was one of my favs:

I do notice that what is seen by refs as an offensive foul in high school is often called a block by college refs.

These same guys would be saying the same thing if they learned a Final Four official was working their games or if an NBA Finals official was too.

While watching a particularly bad JV game and listening to the incredibly stupid parents and fans, I allowed myself a minute to fantasize how the game would be officiated and how the parents would react if it was Hightower, Burr, and Higgins out there.

Love it. There especially seems to be a total inconsistency in the restricted area. Stupid refs.

I could Google "high school basketball blogs" and find 50 million identical examples of the same crap. They're all basically the same. As long as they don't post here, hey, let 'em have their fun. And if they do post here, then I get to have some fun.

In reading the posts, I can say that I have saw very poor grammar.

They don't pronounce the "r" there.
