Ok, I had to to respond to this post so those who get on here, post, or just read, know why it is MOST good officials do what they do.

3 seconds is not called, and some fouls, because officials talk to the players and ask them to get out of the lane or watch the pushing or hands. They don't want to call everything and have the game last any longer than they do. Plus, coaches don't want that as well. They talk the players out of a lot of stuff so the game can keep moving. You give players the chance to stop doing something before it is called. If they don't listen after being given a chance, then it gets called.
This goes for all officials who are decent enough to work the big games you see. And if you were an official, you would want to do it as well.

And for those of you who say you know the rules, I would invite you to call the KHSAA, ask for they info to take the officials test to get your license, and come on out and start officiating high school games. Espcecially for those JV games where sometimes there are 2 bad ones on the floor, as has been said. And is true, sometimes.

And not EVERY official in the 15th region is bad or inconsistent. Marc Hall, Mike Hall, Johnny Webb, Jimmie Cecil, Paul Pelphrey, Steve Keene, and a few more, are the same night in and night out. Some of you may disagree with that assessment, but after watching for a couple or more years, that is what I have seen.

First bold - I couldn't agree more. That is great officiating, and I have no problem with it.

Second bold - I had my officiating license for several years, but not now.

Third bold - I'm from the 13th region.
