I normally do not post.  But Beechwood Coach sending in 3 bench players to cause 15 intentional fouls was not what I would consider good sportsmanship.  

Welcome to BGP @DARZ!

Can you expand on that statement for those that were not there? Were they all called intentional by the officials?

15 is an overstatement.  It was prob 8.  Beechwood was purposefully leaning into Miller restricting his pathway requiring the ref to blow the whistle and send him to the line to try to steal a few possessions.  Hack a Shaq was a decent strategy but went on more than it needed, with the game in hand for the colonels.

No they were not intentional fouls, they did the “Hack a Shaq” philosophy on Miller, none of them were called intentional fouls. Beechwood was down 40 at the half the first time these teams played, and tonight at one point in the 4th quarter they cut it to 11, so I’d say the strategy helped keep them in the game, so it was a good coaching strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cooper or Newport implement some of this strategy in the regional tourney if they play them.

Thanks for the clarification. I'd imagine if they actually intentional some players would've been tossed.
