VoR_58 Wrote:I know that a refs job is harder than it looks and we all think we could call a game from the bleachers, but is it just me or are most refs just horrible. I dont go to a whole lot of high school basketball games, but the ones I do go to it seems like the officiating is just horrible. When I was in high school I dont remember it being like this. It's like they don't even know the rules of the game anymore. For example, last night at the 15th region tourney, between both games I would say there was 25 or 30 traveling violations called, or more. There may have been 4 or 5 that was actually traveling. Has anyone else noticed this or am I just crazy?I'll be the first to admit I haven't been overly happy with their inconsistency this year, but it is a tough job to be a ref in this day and age. The game is faster, the players better, etc. Much more bang-bang type of calls. My biggest problem has been their inconsistency. It's almost as if they ref by memo. What I mean is, one weekend, they will be just dialed in on travels, the next, lane violations, then the travels are ignored, then the next it will be something completely different... It's almost as if they get emails saying that supervisors are noticing this or that isn't being called and they focus on that in the next game. I'm not knocking them at all, just wish they would call the game. Period. If its a walk, call it. If its a charge, call it. But call it the same from game to game.
I wouldn't want to be a ref today, though, I will say that. In the games I've seen at the Expo center, the refs were pretty consistent from beginning to end, thats the way it should be.
