horrified at officials

[stewcall]

Went to my Daughter's first AAU Tourney (14U). Interesting rules 18 min half’s. No shot clock- NCAA women mechanics for the refs.

Here is my gripe in all the games I watched (and there were many) the 2 Referees did not move to see the court. The trail stayed at the division line nearly out of bounds and the Lead stayed 2 feet from the end line. and simply did not move (except when possession required them to move from trail to lead. No alternating position after fouls.

As you can imagine, fouls were called some 40 feet away at times. Of course they couldn't see the court. No one could. Several parents on our team are also Federation Ref's. We were embarrassed.

Ok a Ref bashing a Ref (actually whole crews of them) Perhaps I've broken the unspoken rule. By I sure like to see hustle from a ref. It seemed clear they were taught this style of officiating.... how sad. I guess it makes it easy to call 4 games in a row and get a pay check- still no excuse
