On top of that, officials tend to be more inexperienced. I think my point about pickup games was very appropriate. There are always a lot of fouls and violations that go uncalled in a pickup game. The game is generally much rougher than an organized game. I believe a part of the reason is because the culture of the game is different.
People are more willing to give ground on a close call.
If instead of worrying and getting upset about the quality of officiating in a regular game, a player stays focused on doing the best she can do to get better, she will generally find that officials calls make a lot less difference than she might have originally thought. She will also find that because the tension surrounding the game is less intense, the officiating will generally improve.
