RKBUmp wroteI am actually in AZ, NYS stands for National Youth Sports.
The officiating is all over the place, sometimes we get a great ref, other times we are pretty much playing without one on the floor. I would guess this kid is probably 16-18. At one point in the first half he had called 6 fouls on our team, and not 1 on the other even though we had kids with loose teeth and bloody noses. I finally said something as he ran by about it was some pretty lopsided foul calling, 6-0. He finally started calling some on the other team, but I think by the end of the game is was like 9 on us, 4 on the them. He also never once called a 3 second violation the entire game, even though their big guy had pitched a tent in the key. At one point I was counting outloud, loud enough for him to hear me and got to a count of 25 where the kid had never stepped out of the key.
Did you accomplish anything by yelling at the young official?
What do you think of people who sit in the stands and yell at you?
Can you explain the 3 second rule to us?
Can you tell me where I can find the rule that says the number or fouls on each team has to be even?
Have you ever read a basketball rule book?
I anxiously await your reply.
