Oh, don't get upset, fan.

 

It's a fair question. Right?

 

How many points is too many? At what point is it a bad decision?

 

It might be a fair question, but in the whole scheme of things, who did it hurt? Sometimes people do the right thing rather than do things right. In this case I believe they did the right thing. So if you go against the written or unwritten rules in this case who cares, some might, but not me, no damage done and a lot of compassion. Showing some compassion and assistance in this case is something I frankly admire. It appears the kid didn't ask for it nor did his coach. A good will gesture that puts life in a better perspective for the kid and kids. Most of them when someone needs help, they will be more willing to understand and help others when tough times or unfortunate things happen. So is it a fair question, yes, but who cares.

Agree.

Who cares how many points is too many? Obviously, 13 wasn't.

 

Apparently 987 isn't enough. Honestly, I feel for the kid but seems rediculous to me.

I think some are getting away from the fact that HE didn't ask anyone for it. The opposing coach came up with the idea. The player didn't feel entitled to it. He was given the chance to get it. I'm sure if the spread greater than 20, the conversation by the opposing coach would never come up. It's unselfish on many levels. Two players, one on each team, had to be charged with 7 turnovers. Once again, it's something the player or his parents or team never asked for.

None of this matters to anyone except the players whose stats were affected. The rest of our opinions are meaningless.

How's that?

A Carroll player tossed the ball in to a Trimble player six times. Then a Trimble player tossing in to Gibson six times. I misspoke when I said seven. So that was a turnover each time the ball was taken out.

That makes no sense considering you could have just had 2 kids under each goal making layups, the opponent taking the ball out of bounds and throwing it the length of the floor. Nary a turnover. A few extra assists however.

The way they did it took the least amount of time from the game. It took 50 seconds. I think they explored other avenues, including the one you mentioned, but decided on the most time saving.

Awesome. This is a great story. Kudos to Coach Leep and Trimble County for making this happen. Definitely a class act to make this happen for a fine young man. Good luck to Coach Leep and Trimble County the rest of the season. Way to go!

What happens if the kid from Trimble who scored the first 14 gets his 1000th point on the dot his last game?

He'll get a standing ovation?
