If I’m not mistaken. The varsity coaches do approve the officials well before the game. They know who and what they are getting and can turn down any official they don’t want. And as far as the experience surely they are required more than a year of before hitting varsity level. I’ll let one of these officials weigh in on that though

Man I know I was involved just this last year in youth football little league and right now little dribblers. I know that the lowest of the low. I get it. But we are lucky to get refs to come out. And they are asking for more money and shorter games because of the demand for them. So you have a situation now where they hold all the cards. At this point I believe there are people stepping up and grabbing extra cash because they are desperate. So the only way to solve this problem is to give these guys the respect they do deserve and make it be a fun lovable job again.

I do agree. But I don’t think that’s a competency issue. I believe that’s a grown man tired of getting beat on and wasn’t going to change that call. Which shouldn’t happen but as far as the complaint about getting consistency it’s going to take time right now. I think that’s all anybody is trying to say. We lost a lot of good guys and keep losing more because of the treatment they receive. That’s my point

The game that Gogo keeps referring to I believe there were 3 technical fouls called on that team that game and I think that might go back to what Coach 01 said!! You treat them poorly show them no respect and you get what you get.

Don’t know why it’s so hard to understand what Gogo wants…. Highly trained great officials at every 3-4a game across the state of texas. It’s a very simple request.

Makes sense. Well we appreciate you going out there time and time again and putting up with all these fans that know way more than you. You have balls and thick skin for sure.

Real question itsme 2….. is the level of disrespect towards officials higher in this area than other areas you have officiated?

Once again you make zero sense!! I don’t think you’re grasping the fact this is not their full time jobs. It’s something they do to keep our kids able to play sports. I think we might be a victim of incompetence here in this group.

So the issue is just southeast texas officials? They aren’t having these same problems in other areas?

The issue is guys like you. You might not want to face it. But that’s the reason. So you can either do something to help change it or sit aside and tell people all your great ideas and do nothing.

Once again you’re missing the point…. The varsity level officials don’t just start as varsity level officials. Just think about it for a minute. They work their way up good officials don’t become good from the start. That is the point

I’ll tell you this. I help run little league and little dribblers. We have to beg and plea with officials at that level to get these guys to show up. Soon we will not have any and our children will be the ones hurt by this. That’s just the facts of what’s happening.

So the officials should acknowledge the fans and apologize for a bad call?

You can’t get officials to stay around long enough to be good anymore. People start bashing them and threatening officials as young as little dribblers all the way up to jv level. Those guys can only handle so much crap before they get to the point of handing over the whistle as you say. I’m assuming in your years of watching basketball you have made all the correct calls from the stands and never missed one? If any fan thinks the officials cost them the game they are truly an idiot and were probably brought up around someone who blamed officials. Teach these kids to take responsibility and that one call didn’t cost them the 5 prior turnovers or bad shot selection cost them. Them not getting back on defense cost them. Not the “over the back” call you thought he missed. I’m going to assume Gogo has never volunteered to officiate even at the youngest stages of the game and doesn’t realize how hard of a job those guys have out there and grew up blaming his failed basketball career on bad coaching and the officials. Otherwise would have gone pro.

Great post!! Can’t stand all the whining at games. The officials get zero respect from fans which teaches our kids they shouldn’t respect the officials.

That’s exactly what I mentioned. His poorly planned defensive schemes Maybe you missed that post. Last season they gave up 62 points a game. I’m not sure what defense you have been watching.

I mean he’s playing teams like bc and woodville. Not sure you need a Wesley Yates to get over .500. That’s my point. Btw I love to watch Mitchell coach. His temper doesn’t bother me. His decisions bother me like running a box and 1 on ghost against of when pete is clearly their best player. Which btw they lost that game

Yeah I’m not following either.

He’s almost to .500 on the season

Lcm 59 Jasper 42

Bh won by like 12 or so. Left with 30 seconds and CT’s going on

Anybody got a score on this one ?

Ned 19 bh 17 ht

That’s what I was saying. Lcm vs Jasper game is huge for this early in the season! Also over in 5a Crosby vs pa is a big game.

I think they beat legacy first game of season. Been tough for them since then though
