Heard around the grapevine that the investigation via KHSAA for this situation is heating up. Like i said before the refs failed to do their job in control and KHSAA feels the same way. I hate to throw shade towards these men who are so crucial in helping the youth, but there’s one particular 13th region referee that might need to hang the whistle up.

This is really a “head scratcher” comment to me.  How does an official on a game control a fan and that fan’s decision to leave the seats and enter onto the court? I would agree however that we might have an official or two who might need to retire. Curious who you’re talking about though lol.

These referees let the players go after eachother the entire game, leave the bench, go after fans, go after other players, etc without a technical ever being assessed. The situation with the fan, when the guy comes out of the stands and everything blows up, where’s the ref. On the video you can see the referee from the very beginning turn his back and walk away. Multiple kids were at risk of being hurt, and it’s obvious the guy could care less. I understand taking yourself out of the situation to prevent any harm on yourself, no judgment for not getting into the middle of it. But the crew of refs walk towards the other end of the gym and then watch like no big deal. Then instead of just ending the game, cause 10 seconds remained, or assessing technicals for fighting and leaving the bench, they just allow another scuffle to happen when the buzzer sounds. The entire crew is at fault. I don’t personally know the ref but i’ve seen him at a couple of games this year and he is a POS when it comes to these kids. Believe I heard his name was David or Darryl. Saw him at two bell games, a middlesboro game, and two HC games and i don’t think I can ever watch a game with him again.
