An hour, 45 minute MS game

[MD Longhorn]

I believe I've learned more from watching my daughters' MS games than from clinics, HS games, and this board combined. Sub par officials I can live with. Officials of whatever talent level that refuse to hustle because the game is beneath them, and who simply want to let the clock run as much as possible so they can get out of there drive me freaking crazy.

Last week's game featured one play where the opponent (winning by 30ish) camped so long in the lane that the crowd was counting and got to 12 - no whistle. And also a girl on our team was running and dribbling - and when she stopped, her defender who was chasing her from behind crashed into her, knocked her down, stumbled and LITERALLY stepped on her back. The call? Out of bounds on us when the ball rolled away. The reason? Calling official was 2 steps off the OTHER baseline (yes, about 3/4 of the court away from the play). Nevermind the numerous double dribbles and travels that weren't called either way.
