Can you name them? I'm struggling to come up with 10. Not being rude just trying to identify 10.

Augusta has a gritty team. A lot to be proud of. Only request I have, next time sit in your designated area.

Based on this logic then we should move the sweet 16 from Rupp. It clearly has higher operating costs thus resulting in lower payouts to the KHSAA. Bottom line, kids love playing in these college arenas and thats where they should be if they have the opportunity. Kids still talk about playing at BOK in 2009. The Fieldhouse, Henry County and several others have really passed their prime. Ask any major sports franchise and they would love to get rid of their old facilities. Players want to be in the newer facilities as well.

From the sound of things... I sure hope the Eagles stay home. In my experiences anything can happen. Its HS ball.

I know of two instances where one of the officials called a foul but gave it to a kid that was no where near the play. I mean somewhere like 15' away. A tremendous amount of phantom fouls in the 4th quarter. Literally no contact just simply a kid dribbling up the floor and the official would call a foul. All of the kids were throwing their palms up and somewhat laughing. It really degraded to that point. I would really love for the KHSAA or regional head official to borrow and watch the game film of this game. There would be some serious explaining to do. Awful game to watch. Every trip resulted in a foul and free throws. I'm not sure what Scott shot from the charity stripe but if they hit any free throws the game is easily over mid-way thru the 4th. I give both teams credit for trying to play thru the officiating. It was a battle of strong wills in the 4th quarter. I would like to think there is a lesson in here somewhere for the kids but I'm a little at a loss of trying to spin this one.

They def. lost control early in the game and never really seemed to recover. Not sure what was said by the official at the end but I agree that they should have just left the floor. He could of turned that into a really ugly situation.

This crew really struggled tonight. 25 minute 4th quarter, 30+ fouls... Wow!

If Scott plays hard and together then they should have a nice win.

I believe the rule is good as it is currently written. If you have ever played and been able to block shots then you know that from time to time you inadvertantly hit the back board. I think it would be a travesty if you called basket interference or anything if someone touches the glass. Especially knowing that smacking the backboard impacts a very small percentage of shots.

I would think proximity and positioning of the officials would be the overriding factor. I watch A LOT of game film and often see officials out of position and are baited into a call (see Ruthsatz head bobs) lol... But often wonder why all three officials are ball watching vs watching their area of responsibility. I guess one of lifes great mysteries ; )

Thanks Clyde, I just have a hard time wrapping my head around how a charge and block are called on the same play. I can see in many other instances but these two things just seem contradictory

Clyde, I have a rules question not relating to smacking the backboard, but rather the double foul and second block charge during the Scott / CCH game. How can you have a double foul when one referee is signaling charge while the other is signaling block? I'm not sure how one play can produce a block and a charge. That one has me scratching my head. The second call came later when the referee's repeated themselves by signaling block and charge. But this time the referee signaling block, and basket good simply just walked away and allowed the other official call the charge. I know there can be a double foul but in these instances I don't believe a double fould can or should be called. Can you clarify this one for me?

Excited to see this game. May not be the only time these two face one another. I think they may clash again in the regional.

I'm def. taking Scott. There preassure will be too much for PCC guards. I don't think Scott is lacking in firepower either. I think their bigs will be challenged to guard the perimeter and will not find it easy sleading down low.
