The Incident At The Civic (ejection of a player):
Everyone only knows you were talking about Mattos. The situation did get out of hand for Mattos. As a reporter if you did more research and find out more details of the situation you would of known that he was trying to be a peacemaker between Libao & Shintani telling them to cool down & play the game, And that is when Shintani hit mattos hand down and told Mattos eh bra no "fu..ing touch me, And that's when Mattos went Ballistic...
...There is just some people that don't hide there emotions when there upset (so he ends up looking like the bad guy), And a person that can only tolerate so much and takes a long time before they calm down that is just human nature. I know for a fact his not the first, He won't be the last and I saw way worse then this happen in BIIF Basketball & Other High School Sports.
Regarding Ref's/Coaches/Spectators:
BIIF refs are going to be BIIF refs, They won't change, They will continue to ref the way they do because of the lack of "professionalism" seminars/classes offered to them. So we have to deal with what we have.
Coaches are fun to watch their very into the game, Dramatic, Very compatible with each other, Emotional and even sometimes takes it personal. But they do know there limits & What the consequences are.
Spectators are even more fun to watch. They are very into the game and really emotional especially if they have a son/daughter playing. This is human nature - You have some that gets out of hand, Some that only claps, Some that only nods there heads when making a basket or an awesome play that counts and Some that makes gesture's. Theres all different types of fans, spectators, viewers or whatever you might call them But they are soul supporters of there kid and the school that they are attending (It's called school pride).
From what I heard from my elders high school sports today has toned down alot and nothing compare to what it was before. They said you had crowds of players/students and sometimes even parents/spectators after the games wanting to scrap and even had scrap on the court during the game.
So to me in overall I think high school sports/officiating/coaches/spectators is ok, It's all a reaction to human nature and like I said there is consequences for coaches/players/spectators, Meanning you get out of hand as a coach/player you will have technicals or be ejected, And as spectators you get out of control they can ban you from games then you won't be able to see your son/daughter/cousin/neice/nephew/brother/sister/friendplay and that would suck.
