Who is the best basketball official in your region?

Featured Replies

Lewis County

I believe he assigns games for JV and down, but I could be mistaken.

In the 13th ... Glenn Gray is the best IMO. Very professional at what he does.

Just because one officiates college games does not make him/her a good official. Trust me, there are poor college officials too, there's even poor professional officials as well. Remember the NBA gambling scandal involving an official last season? As for Ashhurst, I've watched him call at least 100 games- He always wants to be the star. Paducah Tilghman mean anything to you? Ask anyone in Rupp the day that he took their trip to the Sweet 16 finals away from them, and see what they think.

 

Glenn Gray is back at it now. As for Philpot, imo he is much better than the other 2 you mentioned.

 

If you want a legit opinion on the officials in the 13th, ask a visiting out of region team and see what they think.

Add Kirk to the bolded part.

 

And as for the Tilghman game, their coach that year, Chumbler, sat in front of me at the state tournament a couple of years after that infamous game. He was still highly upset, to say the least.

That is hilarious! Sparks called a "preventive" technical foul on a 7th grader! A SEVENTH GRADER! Said he was"menacing" and "looked at him wrong!" And I saw Clark call a T at Russell 2 years ago the 1st 30 seconds of a JV game. Great officiating there! And if they're so great, why have they not been rated higher and been to the State tourney. Ask a coach before you start rating officials from the stands.

 

Not according to Joe Billman.

 

I guess we can deduce from these statements that IF Billman says numbers are not going up then it must be right since he has been to the State Tourney and all.........????

There are a couple of new officials that makes the 13th region much better.

That's refreshing news, especially for out-of-region visiting teams, and regions that swap with the 13th for regional tournaments.:thumb:

I doubt when the region swapping happens you will see the couple of new ones, I may be wrong though.

Boucher is correct with his statement that "Ashurst always wants to be the star." That's what I meant by saying his "arrogance" prevents him from being a good official. Getting tourneys/college has nothing to do with how good you are...It's all in who you know. Ashurst must have connections, because he is a pitiful official.

Mike Alderman is "The Best" official in the 16th by a landslide! IMO! I haven't saw him this season hope he hasn't quit!! He calls the whole game the same way uninfluenced by

players, fans, importance of game, coaches as he's passing their bench, time on clock, etc., etc., etc.

 

I'm with you sportsfan of ky, I played legion ball with Arm. Heck of a good guy too. I hope we get him in the regionals.

If he is not calling games he cannot call in the region. !:thumb:

My vote is for Keith McClain in the 16th.

There are a couple of new officials that makes the 13th region much better.

 

Any names to look for?

Joe Billman and Cary Lyle!

Question for the Ninth - is this Mr. Pouncy the same person who coached an AAU team and was banned for assaulting a ref at Campbell County?

He is the same person who assaulted a ref several years ago.
