Is 'where' the correct conjunction?
Is 'where' the correct conjunction?
He didn't get the benefits of some of the whistles [by the referees] where I felt he could have.
I grew up there, but the level is not where it used to be. Players aren't as good in the league anymore.
Thank you

He didn't get the benefits of some of the whistles [by the referees], but I felt he could have. I'm not sure what this sentence means, but where is definitely out of place here. Use but or though .

alc24He didn't get the benefits of some of the whistles [by the referees] where I felt he could have.That's possible informally.
He didn't get the benefits of some of the whistles (in situations) where/in which I felt he could have.

Sorry everybody.
The word you're looking for is "as".
They are fine as is (though a little unspecific), but if you want to use "where", reform the sentences to refer to specific locations.
Or, refer to specific times and say "when".
[He didn't get the benefits of some of the whistles in the moments when I felt he could have.]
The second sentence is a little uncle

"That" is fine. Don't say "which".
In this case you could actually leave out both and not use a conjunction; I would say neither.
