I really enjoy how the refs who do WCAL
League play allow players to play thru some contact that League is officiated as a top League should it's a big boy League and it's officiated as such I cannot say the same
For the EBAL or DFAL League play as many quality teams and players that are in those Leagues you leave alot of those games talking about officials I get the players and coaches have to adjust to how a game is being officiated and most coaches just want to know are you going to let us play or call
It tight not one way for part of the game then something different as the game
goes on.

I was there, had a perfect view from several rows above the scorer's table for the main incident in question.
Just before the half, MC had about an 18-point lead, and Monterey Trail had the ball. MC's coach went up to a ref (I assume the head ref) and instructed him that they were going to use at least some of the "take fouls" they had at their disposal.
Everything seemed fine up to this point, but as soon as an MC player put two hands on the ball handler (not even close to a hard foul), the ref (a different one, btw) called an intentional foul tech.
As one might guess, MC's coach was livid.
MT takes its free throws, gets ball again, again MC player makes a two-hand foul, once again, nowhere near a "hard foul".
MC's coach was FUMING. I mean, REALLY fuming... I could see a coach pulling his team if it had been one of those June scrimmages, he was THAT pissed.
MT took more FT's, tried to get off a shot at the buzzer, but missed. I think this whole mess gave MT 3 or 4 "free points".
Interestingly, as I came back from the bathroom, I passed by Brice, who knows me (No way I would have talked to him if we didn't know each other). I said something like, "What were those refs thinking?", Brice agreed with that...
But I did comment (with a smile), "But then, why the take fouls with a 20-point lead?" Brice smiled and said, "Well, you have a point..."
The game is on NFHS, a GREAT feed... I'm gonna look again.
There were announcers, I wonder what they thought...

Just went back and looked at it... Announcers seemed to think that though the contact on the first T was light, that maybe it was because the MC player may not have made an attempt to get to the ball. Announcer was trying to be "pc" about it, and said even with that the call was odd.
The second T may have been legit. Even though contact was light, it was probably before the play started.
In any case, though, it had little effect on the game; MC played a lot better, and they won comfortably.

The discrepancy in officiating typically hurts WCAL teams come Sectional and Regionals as the teams are called for fouls usually not called during league play. I wouldn’t mind this just as long as the refs state beforehand when the team captains meet before tipoff that they will be calling a tight game.
I don't see what the comments by ArmchairGOAT on the officials in various leagues has anything to do with the subject, a Monterey Trail v Modesto Christian game. neither is in any of the leagues mentioned.
But yeah, stay on yer feet, MOVE the feet, stay in front, don't swipe down... 100% on-point in any conversation.

I was just responding to @inazone1 comment about the WCAL...And I agree with @ankleassassin and @kiddman32 move your feet, stay in front don't swipe down and don't leave your feet in anticipation of pump fakes.
