  1. I watched live, my son watched on i high. What is the extent on homering, how do you judge that? When things are called on one end and let go on the other end that justifies homering. Refs called 8 offensive fouls on SW in the game with NCC, all of them when SW was making a run. How many games have you seen when 8 offensive fouls were called total? I don't blame SW coach for complaining, IMO it was obvious the N KY teams got the breaks. Everyone sees the game differently and you are entitled to your opinion as I am mine. We will just have to agree to disagree.
  2. Yes, I saw the games. One reason the refs would be biased is they have to call for those home town coaches all season long, the out of towners they may never call for again, who would you want to please most, your neighbor or someone you don't even know and don't care to make mad, because they can't scratch you. There were a couple of refs who done a decent job but for the most part, local teams got the breaks, especially in the Boone/SW game. Boones coach must have a lot of power up there with the officials, she influenced most of the calls that game. Guess it does depend on what lens you're looking through. Some fans from the other local schools were commenting on how the game was called in Boones favor. Even the announcers on I-high were talking about it.
  3. Southwestern has no seniors and 1 junior. They start 4 sophomores and a freshman, 1st two subs are freshman and 8th grader. They will be tough to handle in coming years. Also, just a question, for anyone who was at tourney. Was the officiating in the Boone/ SW game as one sided as it looked on the computer? The announcers seemed to think SW got the shaft in that game.
  4. Officiating was terrible. The out of town teams got a raw deal in most every game. Even some of the locals were talking about it. The announcers in the SW/Boone game were commenting on how biased it was for Boone Co. Nice location, well run tournament, nice people at Connor, but referees were definitely homers.
  5. What do you know about Lewis Co. PRP and Southwestern. I have heard Southwestern is very young, but can really play. checking last years roster it looks they started 4 freshmen and an 8th grader on varsity and won 21 games in a very tough 12th region. PRP is usually very athletic and highly competitive. Don't know much about Lewis Co. I know the NKY teams will be very competitive as well. I agree with you, should be a great tourney.
  6. Who will be the favorite to win this tournament? Looks like a very good field. Does anyone know the brackets yet?
  7. In the 12th region it has to be Tim Rice of Southwestern. After losing Fothergill and Pierce to graduation last year (38 points and 20 rebounds) everyone thought SW would be way down this year. At the present time, they are 16-5 while starting 3 freshmen and an 8th grader every game this year. They only have 1 senior, 0 juniors, and 1 sophomore on entire roster. Fantastic job of bringing this team together.
  8. Seen this thread on the boys forum. Thought it might be an interesting topic. Who are some of the mid season coaches of the year in the 16 regions?
  9. Totally agree. What difference does it make if the teams are top 20 or bottom 20? Does MC4 think that higher rankings rate better officials. Please keep into context that this was a scrimmage and the purpose is for teams to practice against someone other than their own team. Win or lose, it doesn't count for anything other than evaluating your team against an opponent. Also, great opportunity for younger officials to get some exposure in a less stressful situation and also be evaluated to see if they have what it takes to earn a few varsity games in the future. Madison Central behaved as though a regional title was at stake. Also, heard that MC coach recieved a technical in their first scrimmage. Any truth to that? If that is true, maybe anger management classes could be an option. To quote Alan Iverson, "Practice, its only practice" and so on.
  10. She was called for a flagrant foul with an elbow to the chin on Fox. She was thrown out and according to khsaa rules will have to sit out 2 games. Not sure if any penalty to Cooksey, but there should be. The play was caught on film and it was obvious that the elbow was malicious. I agree the officiating was not the greatest I've ever seen, but this call was correct, ask Cooksey, he seen the film. All teams participating knew, as they have in the past that the 12th region officials association use this panorama to train younger officials. Hats off to this young man, he may have not gotton all calls right, but he nailed this one right on the spot.
  11. Anyone know of any coaching jobs that are or may be open in these regions? I have heard some rumors, but don't like to comment until I know for sure.
  12. 8-10 jobs in one region, WOW. Where might these jobs be? I've heard a couple of rumors. Shelby Valley and Prestonsburg, who are the others?
