If you saw the Simeon v Whitney Young game on Tue. at Argo HS, then you saw 11 D1 prospects on the floor with Coach K, Thad Matta, Tom Izzo, Bruce Webber, and the Mayor of Chicago (among others) in the house.....

In that game, your not blowing the whistle unless it was a "must get" foul. Your typical "high school foul" occurred every 4-5 seconds...pass on those and get the ones that matter.

btw, your picture of the official in question was spot on....hahahaha

I really don't think thats how NFHS wants the game officiated. When the players get to the college level, I agree this is a fine concept.

They may not, but that's how games are officiated here, especially in the city and certain conferences.

I'd like to think the powers that be at every level would like to see quality, meaningful whistles only. Some games they play through things that are clearly a foul in other games. Thats where our judgment comes into play.

11 on the floor? Whitney Young could have had eight out there and it still didn't matter

My statement was for an educational purpose for me to gather how basketball is officiated in the state of Illinois. I have been educated by the responses. Thanks
