I don't think it's possible to officiate well in a blowout. You HAVE to deviate from what you know is right, or the game will last 3 hours, and no one wants that. Which means you intentionally fail to call things, etc. Which to me isn't officiating well. (At the same time, if you officiate perfectly, you've also officiated poorly). Get in, Get Done, and Get Out is extremely appropriate in a blowout like this. We're not officiating anymore in games like this, we're managing and coping.

Last night--girls' varsity. Final Score--75-11. Coaches were quiet and professional. It didn't seem too bad.
Two weeks ago--different schools, about the same difference in points. Losing coach whining about everything. Partner has enough after trailing coach screams at him, by name, to call something. He did and we shot two addtional free throws. That game seemed like it would never end.

Some years ago I was doing an 8th grade boys game and the home team won by 41 points. As my partner and I were leaving, the visiting coach started ranting and blaming us for the blowout. I said, "Ya' know coach. You may be right. We might have missed a lot of calls. I'll tell you what - to make up for it, we'll give your team 40 points. Oh wait - you still lose!" He just stood there with his mouth shut.

NCAAW D3. I've had one team twice this season. Combined scored in both of that team's losses: 157-45. That'll test your concentration just a little.

Hmm, Good rant.
I'll see all of you and raise you a 7th grade girls game that I did about 10 years ago. The final score was 13-12 in DOUBLE OT. The winning team scored the ONLY FG. Every other point was from Free Throws. Total foul count was over 50. Multiple players fouled out. I thought the game would never end....
