Fans and Coach’s expect officials to be perfect then get better. I’ve seen officials miss calls but I’ve never seen officials cheat. I’ve seen players miss free throws and I’ve never seen officials yell at players. I’ve seen coach’s not call a timeout when opposition is on a 12-0 run and the officials didn’t yell at the coach to call time out. At the end of the day, officials need to realize that they must work to get better and players need to practice to get better. It’s also important that fans need to realize that this state has lost over 800 officials in the last 5 years. Why?? Because they get verbally abused by the media, the fans and the coach’s. Until this changes, we will never see referee associations grow. Way more critics then officials. It’s the society we live in. Entitlement!!!

Referees are expected to be perfect and get better. That sums up the unfairness toward referees.

Dicky is more fun to listen to when his team is winning. “Clock operator is awful” “Referee is bad” “Matney scoring late is ridiculous” Hope I live long enough to hear him compliment someone.

How does a team get 3 hits and 2 Runs in one inning and not be credited with one single earned run?

Perfect time to hire Sam Sparks

Score?

The second scenario. It wasn't a try

It's not defensive goaltending because the defense was not defending their basket

In thread 4 you said he took a charge...Now you say he blocked a shot. That is my point. Umpires, referees, baseball players, basketball players and everyone breathing including you, make mistakes. It is what it is!

Ballhawk, please ask someone else that was there why Jackson got a technical. You were completely wrong. He blocked a shot out of bounds then started yelling. Big difference in your story. Rule book says that type of behavior "bringing attention to yourself" is a unsportsmanlike technical. When criticizing Refs, at least state the facts.

"why was there only two officials assigned to this game? Everything was done correctly as the rule book indicates in this play in regarding the loose ball and injured player. Blue should have the ball following the kick by the white team. Throw in should take place on the baseline

It's just like hitting a parked car...it doesn't matter if you hit it in the front or the back, it's your fault.

My guess would be to get calls correct

Basketball is more physical then Mr. Naismith intended. How physical a game is going to be is usually determined in the early part of the first quarter. This is determined by the striped shirts. Once this is determined, then both teams have the following options: 1) Adjust 2) Foul Out 3) Quit Fouling If the refs are letting them play physical - then play physical If the refs are calling every touch foul - then quit touching If your team does not adjust and continues to be called for fouls - then guess what - the other team is going to shoot more Free Throws. Pretty Simple!

The picture of the grey haired ref is Allen Russell not Bob Kouns!

Flurry at the end...school officials were asked by referee to escort State Rep. Robin Webb from facility...Did any bgp'ers see this?

The announcer said that it would be carried on 105.7 WLGC since Russell and Fairview have been eliminated.

The Rams Football Game this week can be heard live on 105.7 WLGC!

A pattern has formed at GCHS, last season the running game did not take place till the second half of the season and you see where it took them - deep into the playoffs. Why did they wait till the second half of the season again this year to start running the ball? The best way to fix this problem is very simple - hire a coach that does not have such a short memory:-)!

I just hope Sun doesn't realize that the officials on this game do JFL also:cry:

Why didn't the player with the ball just simply stop dribbling and call time-out? This seams like a simple play for the coach to have his team prepared to do. Maybe, just maybe, the players were focusing the coach out too.

According to B-97 FM, Rose Hill shot a total of 19 Freethrows and Ashland made 21 Freethrows!

Mr Dixon was NEVER the assigning secretary for basketball.......he was an assistant to the assigning secretary. He has not been involved in high school basketball in atleast 3 years.

I think you are referring to Ron Dixon and he has been out of officiating for years. I think the thread was asking for the best official anyway......

Does this mean when the OJ years attendance numbers phase out of the 5 year average then the district could be at Fairview again?
