[have an idea]

Newburg could be dangerous come District. Coach Marlett has played in big games , can it correlate into coaching a District Championship team Never say never

same referees?

I’m just gonna defer to Hoopsquad’s comment. If I keep bashing on the refs, people are gonna start thinking I’m a perpetual complainer. I’m 100% certain that you could ask anyone from the Steelville side or anyone from the Newburg side and you would get the same response. It was UNBELIEVABLE! Maybe that’s a little strong. Let’s just say the officials were typical of what you see day in and day out in the Frisco.

Maybe so, but in this area and particularly the Frisco League, competent officiating has been set at a pretty low bar. I was unaware that Crocker had all the good ones booked! If you’re not from Crocker, my apologies to them.
I’m not going to argue with you about my opinion when obviously you and I have a completely different outlook on how a game should be officiated. If I remember correctly, you’re the same guy that wants to see every single instance of contact called as a foul and believes that basketball has gotten entirely too rough under the basket. I believe if officials called the game the way you expect them to call it, teams would need to have 12-15 kids on the roster and games would come down to free throw contests. Oh, and I guess a 2.5 hour game would be fantastic. I would certainly love to sit in the stands and watch teams shoot free throws in the bonus for 2 hours or more.
I’m sure you were thrilled with the officiating in the Frisco League Tournament this year with all the fouls called. It was ridiculous! And even more ridiculous was the inconsistency of it. A good official should be consistent, even if they are consistently bad! But with a few officials in the FL, you can’t even get them to be consistently bad. And I’m not talking about the majority of the officials in this area. Most are not horrible. But there are a few that consistently ref Frisco games that should probably not be allowed to ref junior high games.
If you think Reggie and Melvin are so bad, I’d love to know the ones that you think are so fantastic. Actually, I’d rather not hear names because it’s unfair for us to sit here behind our screens and bad-mouth someone and they not be able to defend themselves. But I’d bet it’s the very ones that I think are the worst. Differences of opinion here, that’s all it is. I just happen to think your opinion smells like...well it just smells.

Definitely not from Crocker. I honestly think the quality of officiating is way down across the board. Of the guys you mentioned, one can’t get up and down the floor, and the other is more worried about flirting with the cheerleaders than calling the game.

Your memory is correct on my stance on foul calls, I think the game has become more about strength than skill, and I don’t like it. I disagree with your statement that teams would need more players, as I believe the players and coaches would adjust accordingly to the way the games were being called.
