I think it could be a record 4 tech and 5 intentional fouls called on Model . Very ugly game . :madman:

It was ugly, but 6 of the calls you mention were with under 1:00 to play and 5 were called by the same official. Anyone

That understands basketball knows that you foul late in the game to stop the clock and try to get the ball back. Yes, it's

intentional but you never see it called that way. It was a 3 point game with 1:30 left and they called those fouls. My son

plays for Model, and they were clearly frustrated with the officials. But, the same official called 7 of the 9 fouls you

mentioned, and yelled at the Model bench throughout the 2nd half, so I can't completely blame our kids and team.

Congrats to Cooper- you have a nice team.

I was there and let me first off say that Model played a very scrappy hard fought game. Model outplayed Cooper tonight. With 1:10 Cooper was up 54-50 when the intentional fouling along with technicals began. I will tell you that Model deserved 100% of the technical fouls as any official being talked to by a player the way they were last night is going to result in a "T". Model's Coach allowed his kids to get technicals as I believe one player for Model recieved 2 for language. At the end of the game when fouling, you must make an attempt to go for the ball and the players for Model were simply pushing Cooper players in the back or grabbing the Cooper players with two hands. Not one of them was questionable in my opinion. If you are looking for someone to blame I would start at the top with Model's Coaching staff for allowing their player's to speak to officials, frustrated or not. Just an opinion from a basketball fan.

I agree 100% that the blame lies with our coach and players, I wasn't saying that. Not sure where you were seating, but I was behind Model's bench, and heard the one official say "if your team doesn't sit down, you'll all go back to Lexington with a technical", after our players had stood up and clapped for their team. I just thought that was unprofessional and showed a bias. I thought the intentional fouls were a little much at the end, would have been nice to see the teams decide the game. Both teams played very hard and it was a great game other than the end.

Well I'll also say that Model is one of the most undisciplined teams I have ever seen. No matter who they play the players and coaches whine and cry. I do think Model has a decent team, but the boys need to learn to control their emotions a little better. If the ref did say that then that is VERY unprofessional, but none the less Model needs to learn to play a more controlled game as far as emotions go. I like the Model team, but things like this will cause more harm than good.

Any video?
