I have seen some questionable calls in games before, this was ridiculous! If GRC had taken care of the ball at the end the refs would have been negated and unable to swing this Rowans way. GRC is still improving, just not their best performance of the year. Gotta be proud of the effort these kids showed tonight.:madman:

This thead might get out of hand as the thread starts with pointing at the officials. Sounds line GRC still had opportunities to be a very good Rowan County team.

I think anyone who saw this game would have to agree the officiating left much to be desired! The over and back call on GRC at the volleyball line was an indicator of how the

night was going to go.

Congrats to the Vikings on the big win tonight.

 

You hit the nail on the head with the bolded. Two turnovers in a tight game/last minute was the killer for GRC tonight. Overall, shooting just wasn't there (IMO). Some of the highlights of this game:

 

- Totally unwarranted Technical Foul on Rowan's Wing in the first half.

- Totally warranted Techical Foul on the Head Coach for arguing the Technical. Instead of sitting the entire game (as he should have), he moved freely and frantically all of the 2nd half.

- Older gentleman left the arena (from the Rowan Side) with what appeared to be a Medical Issue escorted by 6 people.

- An over-and-back called by one of the Ref's using the wrong line (Overruled).

- Police had to to tell two different fans to calm down during the 4th qrtr. One that was headed to the floor.

- Fouls at one point in the 4th quarter was Rowan 3 - GRC 10

- Clock operator did not start the clock during one play and allowed GRC to move into thier offensive zone before starting

- Clock operator started the clock to early with 12 secs left to play.

- Play in the final 15 secs - Ref calls #11 for fouling a GRC player when he applied good defense. Next play inbounds, GRC player was hacked by 3 players and they call a jump ball.

 

But in the end, Rowan took advantage of the turnover and turned them into the winning points. While it is a tough loss, this might also be a good loss for the Cards.

Officating was bad, but it was the two turnovers that killed them.

I agree the officiating was not very good, by one official especially. It however was no worse than the game last year at GRC

I remember that play at the end. They really hosed that play up.

Any time an out of region team goes into the 16th region, you know the officiating is going to be horrible. That is why you have to know going into the game that you need to at least be 10 points better to negate the officiating and come out with a win. Why do officials from different regions call games so differently?

They let a coach stand that they had T'd? Not good.

Didn't see the game. Don't have a dog in the fight, as I enjoy both the 10th & 16th. But I agree with you 100%.

Yes they did. Roamed the court during second half. I though that could/should have warranted another T

I think you first "remind" him that he has the seatbelt. You then whack him if he gets up.

Just odd calls. Many went to Rowan, just not to GRC only

Was going to quote some of the comments but too many on the same subject. There were bad calls both ways as in every game no worse than many other games i have seen this year. Neither TF was warranted, and the coach did not move around freely. He did not move around anymore than any other coach does that gets T'd, until they tell give them a warning. I can promise that no call effected the game worse than the no call last year on television at GRC on that final shot. I saw a game in which both teams played hard and fought from start to finish. Good game between two good teams. Easy to blame things on the Refs. How many games during the year have lopsided calls in one half or the other. Well played game lets don't make excuses.

Congrats to the Vikings on the big win tonight.
