I would say, our team will grow from that experience and is the better team but learned sometimes not all goes as planned...... We'll rebound, Period! Next question please?

If you're a white male over the age of 15 you are basically responsible for everything bad in the world today. The mahnoritees will take it out on you any way they can, including stealing your parking space, keying your car, stealing your iPhone and yes,…glaringly unfair reffing in kids basketball.

It is 8th grade basketball. You job is to develope the skills of your players, not to win games. If you or your parents do not understand this distinction, you need to step back and re-evaluate your priorities.
I tied up a rec league game with 15 seconds left after hitting 2 free throws. With 10 seconds left - the other team inbounded and i stole the ball reaching my arms out to the side and the ref gave me a Techincal Foul and claimed i reached over the line and took the ball from the player. And guess what? I was the only white player on the court, but it was called by the 1 white ref - i think it was some reverse racism - keeping our own people down
