Most of us couldn’t give two craps about middle school basketball, probably because it’s the equivalent to watching a WNBA game, but this is pretty ridiculous.
According to Bleacher Report, a referee working Tuesday night’s Washington state rivalry between North Whidbey and Oak Harbor decided to take a phone call during the game, and thankfully, somebody caught it on camera.
It’s hard to tell if one of the coaches is motioning for his kids to play defense or yelling at the ref to get off the damn phone because he just missed a lane violation on the opposing team.
Either way, it’s never a good sign when an official takes a phone call during the game and the majority of people at the game don’t seem to care. It’s also not a good sign when you’re a middle school kid and you’re already so large that the team-issued red and white shorts don’t fit, so you have to wear your own set of black and white trunks.
Maybe he’d hang up the phone if Carlos Boozer showed up: Watch Carlos Boozer Punch a Ref in the Crotch Over and Over Again
