Really disappointed in the officiating today. Refs called way too many fouls in this game, both ways, and it really affected how it was played. Sosa played great, but if AM would have just played off of him when he drove in he wouldn't have had near the game that he did. He was bailed out by fouls several times when he had no chance to make a play.

 

Kind of ridiculous that UL's 3rd string center had 4 fouls at the end of the game, the refs should have let the big guys play a lot more. AM's last 10 points came from the FT line, which says a lot about how it was officiated. Excellent game to watch if you're a fan, but I hated to see the Ville go down. One things for sure though, they're are gonna be scary good next year if everyone sticks around.

I was happy they finally called some fouls this week.

Scott Co. vs. Holmes on Saturday morning.

The Cards couldn't catch a break during the two games in the final four.

Seemed like they caught all the breaks tonight.

Boy, I sure wasn't hoping to draw Russell. Russell is a fine team and it is a shame that their seniors won't get a chance to play at Diddle Arena. When tournament time came, the two best teams in this region were Rose Hill and Russell. On finals night, Rose Hill was the better of the two.

Well said.

Station's best players are juniors.

Names?

Its the same thing in regards to this debate.

If an attempt slips while in a shooting motion is it still an attempt, or does it become a fumble?

I don't think there is any team that can take Walls AND Mackey out of the game. I think this will be a very good game adn hopefully Creek isn't this years Central. BTW on an earlier post it talked about SC next year and I hate to tell eveyone but Bryan Station is going to take over the 11th next year.

I thought I read where Bryan Station had a lot of seniors?

Gold - it depends on a)how you described the play and b)the officials interpretation of the rulebook. As the play was described, it would be very difficult to say it was a "shot." Instead, as described, it was a "fumble" which would mean that the offense did not lose team control which means it was a backcourt violation. Most officials would have a hard time calling a ball that goes straight up in the air, or in this case, behind the shooter an "attempt." Thus, you have a violation.

Sounds like an extremely weird play and one you don't see every day. Plus, the video is sketchy. A mid air fumble or an attempt that slipped? Who knows?

Doesn't Boyle still have to play tonight?

From the draw, you are correct. As it played out, Russell had a cakewalk in the semifinals.

But would it have been a cakewalk if they shot like they did in the finals?

Congrats to the Hill. I said when the draw came out this was very favorable to them and maybe Russell having to win 3 tough ones in a row was the difference. Russell could not have an off night for any of the 3.

After watching the play on the video provided by Homeless Camel, it looks like Knowles loses the ball going up for a shot and goes and gets it in the backcourt. Maybe cshs can help us as to whether this is allowed or not?

Don't think that's a fluke with the NCAA now running the NIT. Some serious messages were sent to the "big boys" this year...

So please explain then the message sent to Drexel?

He gets people all worked up.

He was a terrible guard at ND and Okie State. Could pass, but couldn't shoot.

He was arrested or caught with something at one of his college stops.

Wasn't he kicked out of Notre Dame?

I thought it was interesting today that Mason County was the "visitor" is two of three ways. Due to their bracket placement, they (1.) wore the dark, or "away", jerseys and (2.) they were the "visitors" on the scoreboard. However, the most important aspect of being the "visitor" was NOT adhered to today. (3.) Mason Co. used the "home" bench instead of BB. That may not seem like that big a deal, but it is probably a bigger deal than many think. If MC had used the other bench, and shot at different baskets than they are used to, it may have proven a bit disruptive...at the very least it would have eliminated the PERCEPTION of an advantage to the host school. Mason Co. High School is the "host" of the tournament, not the "home" team when their school plays. I hope this is not perceived as trying to make a mountain of a molehill.

Wouldn't this have been Brossart's decision?

We can all hope Coach Helton could be half as classy as the Gray's and offer his apology next.

The game we've all been waiting for will finally be here Saturday night.

Rose Hill vs. Russell to go to Bowling Green.

Knowles will be walking on the floor as POY. That is confirmed.

Does it have to be a senior?

What player will be walking out with Coach Code?

That would never be the public reason given, and most HCs are worried enough about their jobs that they'll cut loose assistants even if they're not the main problem.

Most head coaches aren't Tubby Smith.
