Six minute stall from out of nowhere

Recently I was doing a boys Sophomore game. H is up 25 to 20, so it's no blowout. V has been hunkering down in a zone.

(no shot clock in our state) H starts the 3rd quarter by giving the...

Going back to the OP:

High School Season and AAU/Summer ball are different animals, IMO.

Game Management says about fan "I think he is high on something"

Freshman boys. Two small schools. The home team is clearly inferior. The home fans from the start have made it their goal to ride the officials, as to help the team in any way possible. Probably...

Odog- loved the story. Those AAU Wild West type battles are great training for the more civilized world. You really do become judge, jury, and executioner.

I love them. I wish I would have gotten a smaller size though. From my experience, an 11 in Nike may be a 10.5 in Reebok.

Nccaa

I attended a Christian NAIA Division 1 school in CA, but our men's coach considered it embarrassing to attend the N"C"CAA tournament, and would not let the team go.

Realistically, I don't think...

Referee School - Oregon City, OR
