I just watched Lincoln County exhibit some of the worst sportsmanship I've seen in many seasons. To stop Peyton Woods from scoring they hounded him all night which is fine, but late in the fourth quarter they started hitting him really hard and incurred two consecutive intentional fouls in doing so, the last one resulting in an ejection because their player fouled him and then threw him to the floor. Lincoln's coach should be ashamed of such tactics - there's no place for that on the basketball floor.

Is Peyton the WC Coach's son?

Who won?

I saw something very similar to this from them during summer ball. I had never seem them before and was hoping this was not typical.

Was a very physical game for sure. Woods is a player.

This is second ejection for Lincoln Basketball what is going on

Was a very physical game for sure. Woods is a player.

 

Yeah, he is. He was averaging 34.5 PPG coming into the game, but we all knew opponents would double & triple team him until the rest of the team got its game into gear - which happened in the Lincoln game with Blevins scoring 25 & Stearns 23.

 

But there wasn't any need for the physicality displayed. He was knocked to the floor twice - the player who did it the first time is the same player who has already been ejected once this season (from a scrimmage of all things!!!).

 

Coach Jackson can do better than that. There is a difference between playing hard or even rough, but deliberately assaulting another player with apparent intent to injure is out of bounds.

Woods is a D1 talent.

Is he getting any looks, D1 or otherwise?

Hearing Timmy Taylor has been suspended for 2 games as a result of the ejection. Can anyone confirm or deny? I'll be at Lincoln/South Oldham on Saturday so I'll see for myself at that point if no one can confirm.
