Final from the Toyota Classic.

 

Prewitt named MVP.

Didn't see it but a fight broke out in the 4th qtr. 2 players from MoCo were ejected (Hall and Wallace) and Fredrick and asst coach Baci.

Fights happen in the heat of battle. It's truly no biggie unless someone cheap shots another. Hell, I had a JV football game stopped one time because of a fight.

 

Adults, though, should know how to handle themselves. I'm disappointed to hear that SOME(not all) MoCo fans booed Nick Fredrick's selection to the all-tourney team.

 

Come on. You're adults. Act like it.

Nick Fredrick will miss the Boone and Withrow games.

What games will Hall and Wallace miss?

They will miss Trinity / Mason County

1:31:00 mark is where the fight will start.

Watch #3 for CCH (Fredrick). When Fredrick is on the far sideline the MC player guarding him comes up and goes chest-to-chest with him and pushes him twice before Fred responds. When Fred pushes him away the MC kid tackles him. So it's clear who the instigator was. I watched the previous 5 minutes of action to see if there was anything that led upto it. Nothing.

 

Coach Baci did what any coach would do and that is run onto the floor to try to break it up. Technically, a coach has to be invited onto the floor by the official but I think 99% of officials automatically expect them to come on and have no problem with it as long as they're not causing problems. Baci wasn't.

What did you want Fred to do? Keep letting the MoCo kid shoving him?

Kid can play.

What a game. Very fun to watch. Very physical.

I had a little different perspective than Clyde on the overview of the night.

Cov Cath played very physical defense early and a lot of fouls were called. The Cov Cath asst picked up his first tech for some over the top arguing which included flailing his arms around demonstratively which showed up the ref.

there was a Cov Cath adult fan who was walking out to the concession stand and said something to set off one of the referees who got the administrator and walked out into the lobby to point out the person - who was not to re-enter the gym.

I agree with Clyde that that the two were chest to chest. Wallace was more aggressive, but both seemed to be bumping and not backing off. I thought the ref should have called a double foul at that point to calm things down, but they didn't. And that was consistent because #20 for Cov Cath had been pushing Prewitt the entire second half. Prewitt would cross half court and be met with a forearm. The difference in Prewitt and #3 for Cov Cath is that Omar played through it. He didn't grab the other kid by the back of the neck like #3 did.

For this, I couldn't be more proud of O. It shows he has matured a lot.

I thought the refs got it right with the ejections. Wallace tackled #3 and #3 punched Wallace in his already broken nose. Hall joined in and had to be restrained he was so out of control.

It is my understanding that the CC asst coach had something to say to the refs while he was out on the floor. Not for simply leaving the bench to break up the fight. But once he was ejected he walked across the floor staring at the Scott Co AD saying "This is bull" which he repeated. It was a pretty classless night for that guy in my eyes.

I agree it was also classless for the Montgomery fans to boo the kid for making the all tournament team.

What stinks is that this was a great game of two pretty good teams and both were playing some pretty high level basketball. That will be overlooked because of the fight.
