The rule states that a 5 second call can be made even if the defenders switch, as long as the distance between the offensive player and the defender is maintained. That being said, during that play, the distance may not have been maintained. Tough call.

Wow, shows how much I don't know. He was guarded close by 2 or 3 switches. May well have been the right call. thanks

You are correct. You do not stop UNTIL the 6-foot barrier has been broken. It doesn't matter if there is a switch.

 

6 feet is measured from front toe of offense to front toe of defense.

BB 13-38 from 2pt = 34% and 3-17 from 3 = 17% as well as being outscored 17-6 from the FT line, Throw in some foul trouble = Loss

 

Campbell's presence and tenacious HC defense accounted for some of the above quoted numbers. Everything was contested. I can count on one hand the number of uncontested close-in looks last night. We had some good open looks from beyond the arc and hit on 3 of 17, many of which were one and outs. Only so much you can overcome. It was a two point game at the 5:50 mark in the fourth quarter but deteriorated badly beyond that when HC smelled blood.

 

I only had a problem with one official, and it was a BIG problem, but that was in the first half. Officials didn't beat us - poor shooting and HC defense did.

Well put Mustang. Good luck to you and the Stangs next week in the All A.

 

Good luck with getting the software, etc going for future broadcasts that we were discussing after the game, I hope it helped.

Thanks! I appreciate the help. Good luck to the Indians in the "A" - See you in Frankfort!

Neither HC or Brossart played their best game last night that is for sure. Anyone that was at the game should agree on that. From talking with Mustang after game that was the worst shooting night Brossart has had all year from 2 and 3 pt...Some open shots were missed for sure (I know Uebel missed a few open 3s in the 2nd half especially that I'm sure he usually makes) but I do think that you need to credit the defensive pressure with that as well. Brossart is a very good team who had a bad night shooting. Other than the 2nd half of the NCC game, HC has proved that they can play with the top teams on any given night. I don't think HC has played a complete game yet this year. Can't wait for the All A Classic next week at Bellevue.

 

Not positive but I think the All A regional is at Dayton

Schedule I show is that it is at Bellevue per the All A Classic website.

Game - It didn't take you long to lose all creditablity here. Jake Jennings has taken 15 charges this season. Tell me that taking the full brunt of Markel McClendon at full speed was taking a flop??? I suspect you are one of those in the stands that continually yells, "Call 'em both ways."

 

I am watching the replay now. Easy and correct call by Kim Webb on the player control foul. Markel was going full speed. No flop.

By the way I am STUNNED at how small the crowd is for this game. Two really good teams going at it on a Tuesday night in January and no crowd? Come on. Support the boys.

I don't buy into letdowns too much. There are a lot of factors why you lose a game and usually it is an opponent. Sometimes shots don't fall, focus is lost, you just don't see things or feel as comfortable in some gyms, and matchups just aren't in your favor. These are also 15-18 year old kids, we forget that sometimes. It is very rare when a team is on every game. These games happen when talent levels are close. Sounds like HC just was better last night, they are a very good team. Again, it happens. I have to believe BB felt they could win this game and probably believe they could if they played again. They may not, but they I bet they believe they could.

This is what I meant by a letdown. Come into a game unfocused after an emotional high and not ready for a good opponent. Semantics. I really didn't mean it to become the focal point of the thread.

 

Brossart shot poorly, probably because HC played great defense. Gotta stay out of foul trouble also. Hopefully Saunders is okay.

Congrats to HC on the win and good luck in the All A.

I believe Bellevue is the host and the first night is at both Bellevue and Dayton. The remainder of the tournament is at Bellevue.

Let's talk officiating. Mustang said the female official needed to get off the court. I listened to the HC broadcast. They questioned a lot of calls.

 

I'm always of the belief that fans overreact to officiating because of emotion and lack of rule knowledge. That's not being critical of fans. The rulebook has to be studied to fully know when an official is correct and when they're not.

 

Fortunately HC (and God bless them for b-ball fans like me) did a video broadcast so we can all go back and see "how bad" they were.

 

Mustang is way off base on Kim Webb's performance. I would challenge him to go back and watch the video to point out all of the mistakes she made. My guess is what got him going was foul #3 on Drew Burns in the first half. He was behind AC in the post and Kim got him for a hold. Hard to tell because they weren't fully in the video. She was right there watching both and signaled that Drew grabbed AC. I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Kim on that one. EVEN if we say she was grossly inaccurate on that call Mustang is still way off in his criticism.

 

I thought Kim had one rough call and that was the 4th foul on AC. He was blocking out away from the basket and she got him for a push. I thought the Brossart kid slipped. She didn't .

 

Other than that I've got no criticism of her calls.

 

The 3rd foul early 2nd half on AC was the worst call of the night IMO.

 

The 5-second call late in the game was correct as you can switch off as long as the 6-foot limit is not broken.

 

HC thought Drew Burns walked when he fell on a throw-in. It was legal as he fell to the ground BEFORE catching the ball. No travel.

 

Christian's 2nd foul late in the game on a shot attempt was a foul. He "got all ball" but he whacked the shooter across the head.

 

I thought a foul should have been called on a BB drive to the basket late first half. (Note: Not Kim's call)

 

HC wanted a 5-second call in the 2nd half. Watch the replay. Official was on "3" of his count when he passed the ball.

 

Heck, HC thought AC got away with a foul in the 2nd half when a BB player made contact with AC's body. I've got nothing. AC was straight up and didn't move into the shooter. Play on.

 

There were missed calls. A 3-second call was missed first half. A few travel calls on the perimeter were missed.

 

Overall, it was a solid performance and Kim was the best of the 3.

 

I welcome any and all to watch HC's excellent video broadcast and tell me where you disagree.

One more pat on the back for Holy Cross. Way to add to the broadcast experience for fans by pulling in video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
