Need to hire better experienced refs that know the game of basketball and the rules of basketball. Kids get hurt by not blowing the whistle and calling appropriate calls. I watched a red last weekend walk up and down the court during a tournament game with her back turned away from the play quite a bit of the time. Her attitude was that she didn't want to be there or doing that job. How can you make a call when you're not even looking at the players? Then a ref who comments to parents that he sees players walking (traveling ) but won't make the call, even when the parents tell him "Then make the call" ,only to have him minutes later wave a basket off and say that kid is travelling. Now he going to prove a point to these parents that he has the power. What a small person this ref is. How unprofessional he is. The parents and coaches get upset because the refs are horrible. If you run a tournament get some top notch refs in. But don't worry about our team. We won't be back. We should have known with only 3 teams in our division what was up. Now we know. Good luck finding teams for your next tournament. Hire some good refs.
