I read alot of the posts in the forum. Seems that there has not been as much official bashing, as in the past. How has the officiating been across the state this season?

WINNERS RAKE THE POT....LOSERS CRY DEAL.

About the amount of fouls....was the game officiated well or they just let things go?

I am hearing Coach Rain's named mentioned with Pikeville College. Wanting to ask another Mountain Coach to come as a package. Not going to mention the other Coach for obvious reasons.

Like others said the eligibility rules for a forward pass are position and numbering. The example you give is for a direct handoff, not a pass.

You are 100% correct.

Think again Hilltopper. The ejection last year was the correct call. I AM sorry that some umpires don't have the nads to make the correct call. If you think last years call was blown...it makes your credibility questionable on this call to see things through non-biased eyes instead of those maroon colored glasses that you must be wearing. I was not at the game, so I can not make a determination on the play against Clay County. I have seen the video, and you might or might not have an argument. Plus you can have visious or violent contact and it not be malicious. :thumb:

You have the right answer.

I have heard with the new format or old format, depending how old you are, that the KHSAA is taking 16 umpires. I don't know if this is true, and was wondering just who the "Men in Blue" will be.

You might want to re-think that logic. The batted ball may very well hit in foul territory way past the bag, but if the grounded ball passes over 1st or 3rd...you still have a fair ball. I have seen umpires on several occasions have to dodge the ball and they be standing in foul territory.

They don't play Catholic in regular season to determine seeding. I believe this changes next year.

I hope that you are not a basketball dad, because if you would want your kid to respond to what happens in the stands; then you are teaching them to play right into the fans hands. But then of course, you are probably one of those same parents that blame everyone but your kid when things are not going good. Nice job dad.

Thanks for all the kind words....won't reply much, but thought this was a good topic to speak out. :banana:

If you truly are an official of 30+ years which I find hard to believe...just drop it. If you have called that long you are right there with me in years on the court. I am sorry to burst your bubble, but yes I would enforce the rule as written. You are not talking about judgment calls...advantage or disadvantage with the defense or offense or any other action while the ball is alive and in play. You are talking about a stoppage in play...you are given the problem...you are expected to render the correct legal decision. It is just that simple. You say that it is unfair to the other team....well do it your way and now you have made it unfair to the other team, because you did not make a correct ruling....now that team loses by one point...the film is sent to KHSAA...Mr. Tackett calls you and asks for an explanation...you sit for a couple of games. You can never go wrong by following the rules.
