These referees want to make sure that their game is still fun. Charlie Tygard is a youth basketball coach and says he wishes some parents would realize that teaching kids the fundamentals of the game is more important than winning. Unfortunately, he says he’s been confronted by angry moms and dads over calls he’s made on the court. Donovan Smith is a student athlete and a referee who has also faced off with competitive parents. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
Affects of capitalism haha. They all trying to get thier kids to be pro
When the parents act like that just disqualify the child and tell the parents it's because of their behavior!
When parents try to live vicariously through their kids..
W coach
Imagine that. Parents trying to live out their failed dreams thru their children. Get a life. Move on!
And the sad part is 99% of those kids will never be an athlete
Now go ask NBA referees what it’s really like
Basketball is for stupid people who grew up too poor to play hockey.
We need more refs like this honestly.
Americans
I have been reffing for over 5 years. I’ve had to end games early because of angry parents and coaches. Nearly fought a few of them along the way. They need to chill. Their team/kid probably sucks anyways
God bless these refs
Winning and losing is important on every level… it’s a competition smh
I agree but when I played biddy basketball I was literally getting punched. And they didn't call anything, I find that there r an equal amount of bad refs.
Interesting
This referee isn't doing anything wrong. I respect this guy,
Parents trying to live through their children make their own failures so obvious 😂😂😂
Well parents think it's a blood sport not a game. I see titles like this and I think, remember Sill in the Soprano's "blow that whistle one more time and I'ma stick it in your…" They get a little far into a simple kids game. "Kids" being the key word here, not parents.
People treat sports like it’s a struggle between kingdoms in Europe.
have the parents volunteer to become a ref and let see what happens
Is the pandemic over?
Huge shortage right now. I have assignors emailing me left and right for games.
More and more psychopaths every day.
Thank you someone said it. Don't bully others as adult or you'll continue a horrible cycle.
they suck i would 21-0 them
Its basically a game it's part of life you'll either get a call or you'll not…. that's why it's better to not to look for a foul….m being a ref is not easy
My brother plays Basketball and my parents just say GUARD HIM GET ON HIM and other stuff but they never like be rude and stuff they tell the other team good job and they good try next time
When me and my friends were 17 we would umpire little league baseball and we would have parents scream at us curse at us and on one occation a dad ran on to the feild and hit my friend who was 16 at the time.
Tell all this to hockey parents from atom and higher. they scream at the players and refs and most of the time we cant hear the parents unless were on the bench
LMAOOO $30 PER GAME, and they're complaining
As a young soccer referee this is very true. I have been called many names in games as young as third grade soccer games by parents
nba refs though
It’s just a game
Then those parents should be banned from attending the games. If you don’t like it, can’t keep yourself composed as an adult, then take your kid and go. Simple.
Karen's and Kevin's gone wild!
W parents
Ban badly behaved parents from games.
Here’s my solution. Zero fans at the games/events. Zero. Has happened at a couple baseball tournaments in Iowa.
