Unless you are very lucky to have a good coach who is interested in teaching and knows the game, it is very disappointing and only teaches kids to be selfish.

In the summer league games, there are usually only two refs instead of the three during the regular season. So some fouls will be missed. But the refs are basically the same guys who officiate during the season and I believe they make a serious effort to be fair. The refs in our area tend to let the kids play, but closer to Philly, they are stricter. That screwed us up a little in playoffs. But teams from outside our area likely get a little screwed up by our refs. <br /><br />I have never seen a ref act unprofessionally on the court. Never. I disagreed with lots of calls, but they are human and closer to the action.
