8th region does seem to have more passionate fans than what I've seen in the 9th.

Most games I get to attend are 8th region games with Anderson Co. playing. Seen/heard plenty of shouts from the stands, a few getting pretty irate, both AC people and opposing schools fans. Don't know if it's any better or worse in other regions since I don't get to see a lot of games outside the 8th...but I can say I have heard more than a few choice words come from a 9th region team's fans/parents that would give anyone else I have seen more than a run for their money.

My only complaint with officials is consistency. If it's a violation early, it should be a violation late. I spend several nights a week in discussions with officials. I always try to be polite if they will engage me. I despise asking an official a question at a dead ball and being ignored.

Usually it's the other way around...for 3 quarters they'll let players "get away" with stuff, then suddenly the 4th quarter shows up and suddenly they find their whistle.

BTW, I don't think the 8th region officials are better or worse than the 10th or 9th (the regions I watch). I do think they allow the game to be more physical in the paint than they do in the 9th as a whole. Like anything else, some 10th region teams do great work but some of the worst I've seen in years work in the 10th.

Are you asking as a coach or as a fan?

Id like to seeHS go to 6 fouls per player...2 quick ones and kid is out for rest of half....let em play
