Thanks.

What days is the tournament on?

SAWolverines, when does SA get their two best players back? 

This is a great example of the kids of this generation.  First attacking the official, then others defending him and laying the blame on everyone but the kid.

No look, you think Huntington can beat Hudson this year.  If you dont want to post on here PM me.  I think they have a good chance of splitting.  Each gets a W at their place.  Do you know what Center has?  Havent heard anything out of them this year.  I know they are picked to win district but that was more than likely due to them winning it last year.  I  hope Huntington can get one of the 3 spots, I think they have a shot.  I think Central is going to surprise some people in district. This year and in the coming years. 

No excuses.  You can not defend the player at all.  Would expect the same thing if the coach attacked the official.  You cant defend an attack.  If you want to pursue the officials, do it through different avenues.

Will do.  I think HF gets in on the last spot.  JMO  I havent seen WOS or Orangefield play, but have seen that they have gotten beat quite a bit.  The last spot may be up for grabs.

My bad, I posted what I heard not what I saw.  Try to get it straight next time. 

Wow.

I didnt start it. Just sayin.

Bluedove, what I was talking about was an actually event I witnessed.  The dad injected his opinion into the teams huddle.  The coach was very mad, but thought it very funny after the game.  On a side note, I would like to see HF get that playoff spot.  It would be good for yall. 

Bluedove, it may be.  I love for the defense to play hard.  I find it hard to watch a team that does not play hard.  That being said, when a shooter goes up for a shot, he has to be protected. The area he left the floor and his body should not be touched, if he falls forward then the shooter will probably get a charge, which protects good defense.  The dribbler must also be protected, his progress should not be impeeded by the defense putting their hands or hip/body on the dribbler.  Those are the two main problems I see in offciating: protecting the shooter, and protecting the dribbler.  If you lose these two things you have lost alot of the great things that make basketball great. IMO

The NBA Championship is the Lakers to lose the last I had heard. With that being said, the Heat will make the playoffs, may make a wave or two but will not do much, and stevenash knows that.  His Celtics will more than likely win it this year.  I would also give the Spurs as of late in the discussion and the Magic.  The heat are way down my list, no post play, two guys that create off the dribble good but do not play together very well at all and neither are very good outside shooters.  Wade is better than Lebron, but Lebron is not a very good shooter, very streaky.  If, big if, the Heat were to get someone to play defense down low, they dont need to score a lot,  and they get Mike Miller back to go with House for shooters and Wade and Lebron learn how to play together, which looks hopeless, they could make a run in the playoffs.  Still dont think they could beat the Magic or Celtics, their team cohesion has been there for a much longer time. 

I dont think people expect officials to have any effect on bad passes or any of the other stuff mentioned.  Officials should call the game by the rule book.  Mostly protecting the offense. And the defense when their is a player out of control.  TO protect the fundamentals of the game.  Protect the shooter, the dribbler. For basketball players to play a good sound fundamental undercontrolled game an official must protect these players.  If not it will become something the coach, players, fans do not want to participate in.  

Seen it at alot of places but never at college level, they must be some crazy parents.  What I like best is when during the middle of a game a parent suggest a certain play, being as the stands are very close to the timeout.  The coaches response was to either shutup or they would be excorted out of the gym.

Me too!!!  LOL

Tounge in Cheek?

I knew what he meant.  I was jsut saying, it is getting close to district time and teams should be preparing for the beginning of the new season within season.

Heard that Zavalla got the W.  Congrats to the coach and boys.  Good win.

No look, you must have a crystal ball, good pick.

May have been an issue as well, I imagine most teams are starting preperations for District.  Still Woodville got the W.

Still a good win. But home turf does make a difference.  Sometimes a very big difference.  Depends on the mentality of the players.  Some can play through it.  JMO

My bad, didnt see that.  At least yall got the W.

Where was the game played?

FYI.  One of Broaduss best players broke his leg.  Will be out for 4-8 weeks.  I think he broke a week or two back. Also Coach Hurley is doing a good job with the Central boys.  They are very young and still  playing good games.  And I dont believe they graduate anyone. Anf they have only one JR. if I am correct.
