Today my daughter played in a basketball game that is part of the after school program run by NOR. The team they played began throwing elbows and kicking some of the girls, many of the girls became so intimidated by the other team they would just stand there and allowing the other team to take the ball out of there hands. The ref, who I hold responsible along with the supervisor at green acres facility, was not calling the fouls or even stop the girls and warning them from inappropriate behavior. This behavior went so far as to carry over in th after game handshake where on girl slapped the hand of my daughter so hard that it swelled and became red, it was clearly a retaliation for what ever was going on during the game. The worst part of the game were the parents and the coach encouraging the girls to play this way. I pride myself on teaching my daughter the rules of the game and conduct herself on the court as she does in school. How far do we go as parents to stop this behavior? Should NOR be held responsible? Should teams like this be banned if the behavior continues?
