Read about it here

Nobody was keeping stats at the game. However, a sports writer from the paper is picking up a copy of the video today. He's going to watch it and do his article from the video. We should have some stats tomorrow. Hopson was matched up defensively against Johnson (and Wilson at times). Both made some very impressive moves to create their shots. I'll try to post some video later...

Coach Larkey/Harlan County:ylsuper:

This was a good win for the Skins. They dominated every facet of the game from start to finish..........:thumb:

It's not the internet connection. The buzzer was before the shot. Also there was exactly 1.0 on the clock. The clock had 1.4 and the officials went to the scorers table and had the 4 tenths removed from the clock.

John Lewis is the only name that i even heard mentioned. Since the football coach has been hired, i think the focus has moved on to basketball. John would be an excellent hire for this program. He played at TN Weslyan and coached several seasons at Cawood HS.

I have watched both controversial plays several times. Why? It's like watching a train wreck!!! If this happened to you, you would watch it several times trying to find justification of the calls or lack thereof. It's unbelievable that these 2 plays happened in the same game. And you know what else is unbelievable, these officials will probably do post season assignments.

Cumberland beat them by about 30 in the first round last year. I don't think Hazard will have much of a problem in this one. Side note: Cole Sturgeon plays for this team also (at least he did last year). You may remember him from the Little League World Series.......

Cumberland didnt shoot the ball well the first half, but scored 43 points the second half, but as usual they played tenacious defense. To Harlans credit they came out the first half and played well defensively.

Struggled to a 26 point win on the road...........:irked:

This is Johnsons third season at Cumberland. He came to CHS as a sophomore having not played varsity basketball. The staff has helped mold him in to the player he is.

Former West Virginia coach John Beilein says he got a technical during halftime when he was coaching Richmond in the late 1990s at William & Mary. The referees overheard him complain about them as he was talking to his assistants outside his locker room. "Not only did I get a 'T,' " Beilein says, "but the guy blew his whistle — in the hallway."

Barbara Jacobs says she was called for one technical foul in 15 seasons as coach of the Syracuse women's team. It was a doozy. The Orange were playing at Pittsburgh in the mid-1980s when — well, let her tell it: "I always wore high heel pumps and a nice dress or skirt for games. My guard was going down the floor and she got tripped by a defender and fell to the floor, but the official called traveling. And I tried to explain to the official that she got tripped by using a kick motion with my foot. "And as I'm doing that my shoe flew off and it just kind of flew in the air. I remember thinking, come back. It was like the whole world stopped and it was flying in the air and, sure enough, it hit the official right in her butt. And she turned around and very calmly gave me a technical." It got worse. "Then," Jacobs says, "she made me go out on the court and pick up my shoe. It was a long walk." The ironic thing is these days Jacobs is an assistant commissioner of the Big East in charge of women's basketball officiating. For a few years, she was the boss of Phyllis Deveney, the ref who called that technical.

Former ref Mickey Crowley recalls a lesser-known tech called against Bobby Knight when Knight coached the U.S. national team in an exhibition game against the Soviet Union in the 1980s. Crowley says the official who called the tech asked Crowley to talk to Knight because Crowley knew him. "Bobby says, 'Mickey, I won't say another word,' " Crowley says. "And I turn around and start to walk away and he says, 'But you've got to understand, those are communists over there. How do you guys defend those communists?' "I say, 'Hey, Bobby, slow down, you're going to start World War III.' And he says, 'Good. I've got 12 hostages right here.' "

After watching video, Zachery was involved. Zachery dived in to the pile swinging after Polson threw his punch.....

Friday night, scheduled tip to be around 8:45pm. It will be aired on WYMT or you can view it streaming from the WYMT website.

Will he be eligible to play the remainder of the season?

Leisge may be the best on-ball defender in the region, he forced a couple of 5 second calls last night!! Get the stats on the game here

I have been to Letcher Centrals a couple of times and was very impressed. They had some really good potato wedges and fresh fried "donut holes".mmmmm good

I highly recommend the "Pine Mountain Grill".........

Will these games be broadcast on Wazoo Sports?
