Chicago Area Sectionals 3A and 4A

Went to two games this week while traveling on business in Chicago.

Trying to understand what it takes to officiate high level Boys V.

I saw a few things which I had questions about (with the proviso that I'm still a newer official and could not see what the refs saw):

1. Saw quite a bit of uncalled hand checking far away from the basket. I know it's a POE in Kansas this year. My question for the vets is how do you know when to call it?

2. Post play roughness. First game, I saw perhaps 5-6 instances when something should have been called. Again, how do you vets decide?

Couple of other things:
A. Gyms were as loud as any I've ever been in. Could never hear the horn.

B. Second game, one official was the spitting image of this guy.

He also had a large splint and wrap on his left arm.
