Umpires Fairness - The Future...?

I hate it when I see parents arguing with Junior umpires, under no circumstances should they be allowed to, I think it should be an automatic ejection! And eventually if they continue banned from games...

Maybe the crowd can shout at umpires in higher standard games, but Junior Miniball Games, Under 16, 14, 12 even Under 18! They shouldn't be allowed to talk to an umpire...

I argue with umpires, a lot of people do it, and I am as bad, but does their need to be a serious change to ensure the guture of the game in this state?

If it continues umpires will quit, then who will umpire the next generation?

What are your thoughts of this problem which basketball in SA and all over Australia has?

You could have not said that any better Degenerate. Parents need to get it through their heads as well as parents argueing with junior umpires is so stupid - with the amount they are paid they wont bother continuing to ref your sons/daughters games coz they can get paid to stock shelves and not be abused.

BASA should put more money towards refs if they arnt paying insurance anymore. They have to con junior refs some how!

And i agree with rules being changed, maybe not automatic ejection from the stadium. Some parents who get really involved in the game just automatically react negatively when they feel its a bad call, however if they continue on from that.. thats when rules should come into play.

A good one to bring up mate
