One thing I saw in this game that interested me that I have never seen before was Bowen getting all 5 of her fouls in the 4th quarter

Agreed, that doesn't happen very often.

Agreed but then 2 of them were intentional bumps toward the end of the game.....that said this had to be the weirdest called game I have ever seen. I say weird because it was called in a fashion I have never seen before.

 

One half of the court was called tight while the other was called very loosely.

 

This created a very controversial first half as Scott was saddled with a virtual olay style defense with 2 of the starters with 3 fouls and several others with 2. Foul count for the first half i believe was Scott committing 13 infractions and Williamstown 6. And Coach was handed a Technical for trying to call a timeout.

 

Sticking with the "consistently inconsistent" model they called the second half the same way but this time Scott was in the looser end and Williamstown was in the tighter end. Foul count for the 2nd half was something like Scott 7, Williamstown 12or 13.

 

In the end it balanced out but I think everyone left the game feeling like the refs impacted the outcome in one way or another.

 

By contrast the finals were called much more consistently and definitely less controversial.

Williamstown? Wrong thread.

Williamstown? Wrong thread.

 

LOL.....and this should be a lesson to all out there to not post comments on public forums after midnight on New Years Eve.....LOL

 

That said and to the topic at hand I did feel the Gallatin game was one of the better called games I have seen. The Bowen girl is an excellent player. I have enjoyed watching her play with the Shining Stars during the past couple of AAU seasons and knew that if Scott was able to keep the ball out of her hands or challenge her every step that they had a chance to win.

 

Foul counts were pretty even going into the last minute plus and most importantly they let the girls play up top while safely controlling the banging underneath. Was it a perfectly called game? Not by any means but then the players aren't perfect either. In the end all you can ask for is consistency and in a tournament like this it should be from game to game as well.

 

Best of Luck to the Lady Wildcats the rest of the season.
