I'm interested in feedback from the many veteran coaches who participate on this site. The officiating in the WF/WHS game and the SF/HHS games were subpar, to say the least. Both games got out of hand, resulting in punches being thrown. Having witnessed one of these games in person, it was worthy of any grotesque soccer fight seen on youtube. Is it too much to ask for state certified officials to keep control of a game? I know we're talking about 120 to 150 pound grils here and not 250 pound football players, but some girl is going to get seriously hurt if something is not done. Maybe there should be more severe punishment for throwing a punch. Instead of two games, perhaps a season long suspension. I'm interested in the veteran coaches point of view.
