[Basketball Wizzard]

I've been around basketball for over 40 years.....and I have to say that the officials of today are the worst I have ever seen. They used to care for the safety of the players first and their paycheck/future games second. I was recently at a tournament in Corbin and saw the worst case of official professionalism ever. It was clear which teams were selected to win and lose by just watching the officiating. What ever happened to a good clean sporting event where the better team wins? It's just a sign of our times.....corruption at every level of society. These young people work their butts off everyday of the week in practice to perfect their game...just to have it all go for "NOT" because of some crooked school official and biased referee. When will school officials and referees realize that fans are not "STUPID"..... we see what you are doing? I thought a school's purpose was to "teach" our kids how to be productive citizens.....not to "Cheat" when the going get's tough. Oh well enough of my soapbox.....I just wish the adults in charge had morals and loved the "SPORT" as much as the kids and the fans. :Cheerlead
