At one point a kid had gotten a steal, was headed for a layup, and the ref blew the whistle saying the white coach called timeout before the steal about 5 seconds prior before the steal.

These where kids in 4th grade and adults are okay cheating them? My kids weren’t even involved in that game, but what I saw was so horrendous that I can’t deal with the Chantilly Youth Association anymore.

Does CYA have a history of this?

Oh please.

You sound like a deeply racist person, thinking everyone is as racist as you are.

The worst faults I have seen in my kids' games have been committed by black players. Does that mean there is some kind of massive anti-Hispanic conspiracy?

I know. I coached there last winter and had a few run-ins with a particular ref who looked to be in his late 60’s with hair on the side and none on top (Like a bird’s nest). Anyway, this guy gave me a couple technicals and my team a real hard time. Later, I found out this guy is on the board too.

As a black man, I understood from the conversations and the treatment that what I was experiencing was racism. Now, the younger officials may have been bad, but I don’t think they were racist and not even all of the older ones. But there are a few and the board over there certainly practices racism.

Bald on top, late 60's, "bird's nest" look, sounds very familiar.

It's not just blacks being treated badly over there. I'm Asian, and coached a majority Indian team over there last spring and had similar experiences. I can recall playing against an all white team with a white coach one game. This particular game could of went either way and a ref fitting this same description seemed to be doing everything he could to help the white team. Even called a technical on me, a quiet non confrontational coach in the 4th quarter when the game was on the line for not having possession while attempting to call timeout.

I know there are some good people involved with CYA, but there are people running that organization who prefer certain types of people to win and they don't care if they games are played with integrity or not while they are helping those people.

I would have thought that this was the correct call, but I looked it up, and this is completely wrong -- the rule is "play on". Even if ref accidentally blows the whistle it's not a technical foul. https://forum.officiating.com/basketball/31325-team-without-possession-calls-time-out-during-live-ball.html

In DC league our last playoff game, the ref clearly preferred the opposing team (and seemed to be friends with other coach). He ignored offenses (so much traveling) for other team but not our team.

Team composition, both sides, was mostly black (and coaches and ref) with two Hispanic kids and one white kid.
