Until the khsaa or the board of controls will stand up and admit there is a problem then you are beating your head against the walls. I agree with what is being said here........officials now are out of shape and seemingly think that people pay to see them blow their whistles. I have been to games this year where they shot over 70 free throws........one game where they called nearly 50 fouls.......then other games where the helmets and pads had to come out. Until there is some system of checks and balances then is basically a free-for-all. Recently watched guys from the 10th and 11th do the 13th region tournament and overall they did a pretty good job. But your supposed to get the best at that point in the season. But locally, things look pretty bad and will get worse until something is done.........just don't know what can be at this point.

Everyone watches games from a fan perspective , now hear me out. 90% of people who criticize refs their teams lost a game and they are mad! Are there bad refs, yes and there are good ones and most of the good ones work their butts off only to crucified in this forum because some team didn't win. They can't win, if you want or think you can do better, they are always looking for good refs, but most would rather sit on their butts and complain. Until you have been on the floor dealt with idiot coaches who think they are Calipari and kids whose mommy and daddy thinks they are the greatest thing since John Wall but in reality not very good, then leave them alone. How would you like it if 500 people came to your work and yelled at you, you suck, I'm gonna whip your ass, plus cussed at you constantly and if that wasn't enough, they also get on this forum and talk about how your work is horrible, you shouldn't be in your job? You wouldn't like it. Are there faults yes, DI the best refs get to the state No, but that is because of politics! The same thing that got must of us jobs or how you snooze the boss to keep it. It's comicsl to hear and read how people who have never done it nor have the balls to try, complain. Moral of the story if you want change get out there and do it, otherwise accept it
