When did high school b-ball players get so fat and unathletic? There are at least four players in that vid who have no conditioning to be playing high school ball.

Yeah, the refs need to keep control of the game and watch fouls, but whoever made this video is a sally. The #34 guy is a fatty with no hops, but he is obviously stronger than the other kids. He has no technique and every blocked shot attempt ends up looking like a hay-maker. Even worse, the guy doesn't leave the ground when he jumps.

This video is getting blown way out of proportion. Porky pig is out of shape and wouldn't get playing time if there was anyone better on that hilljack team. #42 is a lazy thug who would rather foul than move his feet to get into position. He gets a warning on the two-handed shove offense, then a Technical if it happens again. 2 T's and you're ejected.

Like it or not, basketball is a contact sport. Many college & NBA slasher-types are wearing those padded undergarments that go under your shorts (see: McDavidUSA.com - Basketball Sports Medicine, Basketball Protective Equipment and Protective Apparel). Sh*t gets rough. This video is nothing compared to some adult competitive level rec league games.

tl:dr - Refs need to be less afraid to throw the T, but parents and weak kids with no game need to stop being total sallies.
