The two officials have been doing youth basketball for a while and should know better.

They wouldn't be the first youth officials to operate under assumptions from television. Screwed is still harsh. The other team still needs to play defense.

You could contact whoever assigns these games and express your concerns. You'll probably get an invitation to put the stripes back on.
