I am not sure I agree with this statement 100%. I feel until Burns pulled the captains & coaches together the first time it should have happened way before that and then he did it again at halftime. This opinion came from others as well. Now granted I am not sure what was said to the girls during the game by officials but I felt at times the game became a hot mess (I am not sure of another statement to use but this). I think their "control" of the game was to call a foul. At one point I made a comment to someone there, "Not everything is a foul".

 

What do you suggest they should have done differently to "control" the game ?

 

If they pulled captains together once that's solid, if it was done twice, then they recognized the issue had not resolved itself.

 

What options were at their disposal ?

Call more fouls!

Call more fouls!

 

There would have been no more players. 77 fouls called & 9 players fouling out. Plus the game lasted 2 1/2 hours.
