This is foul, but I can't find it in any section of the rulebook

[SHellmueller]

So I usually work boys games, but I'm working my first girls game, it's 7/8th graders. I had the special rules down, a good pregame with my partner, tossed it up well, and away we go. All's well until we switch, and I am lead in team B's frontcourt. There's no other way to say this nicely: These girls from team B absolutely stunk. I don't mean they were bad players, they really smelled! I didn't know girls that age could smell that bad!. Needless to say, I made several adjustments, especially working way back off the end line. I don't think it affected my officiating, although I kept my distance from their teams designated "thrower-in" whenever possible.

So has anyone here ever encountered this before? I know there's nothing that can be done, although I certainly would have liked to send everyone to the showers, literally.

Call a multiple fragrant foul.

Let's see, how can I put this delicately...

yes, I've encountered this before, but not with girls!

Next time you're scheduled to officiate for them, make sure you eat lots of beans the night before, and show them who really has jurisdiction!

It's even worse if you have a partner with this problem. I have a couple of times. Yikes!

I think we can all agree however that it would be worst of all to be the partner with this problem.
