The starter that was injured last night was different from the one that has been injured.

I think Steve Nash and I are saying the exact same thing in a little different terminology. 20/20 from the line is as impressive as I’ve seen at any level. I hate to reduce a game like this to one or two things but the 7 point swing and the momentum it stemmed was critical. Missed FT’s by the Hawks was also critical.

Yes sir but if not for the technical the possession would have gone back to HJ after the first two foul shots. Silsbee shot the foul first, then the technical and then got possession of the ball because of the technical.

Actually this was a seeding game. Silsbee and HJ are Co-Champs of 22-4A .

HJ played great basketball in the 3rd quarter but the technical foul was huge. Up until that point Bush had actually struggled from the the field. He stepped up and hit 4 FT’s and a 3 pointer on the gained possession. I believe they actually stole the ball on the next possession and hit a 3. A 10 point swing in a game like this is tough to overcome.

The officiating last night was as good as I’ve seen this year. They called the game consistently which is all either club could ask for. The difference in the number of FT’s attempted was the result of HJ missing the front end of some bonuses. These types of games are won and lost at the line. Even though I support the Hawks this was a fun game to watch.

Not sure what this rant is about? What in the world could anything said about a transfer have to with race? I don’t know right off hand who #5 is but I do know an all district team hasn’t been chosen. What would you think would happen to a transfer if a coach they wanted to play for left? If the DC doesn’t have a problem with the transfers I certainly don’t have one, I also wouldn’t expect them to stay if the coach left. That’s just my opinion, that and 50 cents will get me a cup of coffee.

Woodville is one of the few area teams I haven’t seen this year. I gotta go with Kountze at home.

That could be awhile in a 4 team format 😂

You’re probably 100% correct I just don’t know why you’d flip home and home in a playoff setting. If you lose that flip you give your opponent a big advantage.

Why would Woodville agree to play this game in an opponents home gym? This one could have been played in Warren on a neutral site. Another head scratcher.

I don’t think there’s any doubt what would happen to the transfers . I gotta agree about the gym, you have to look at both scoreboards on every possession to keep up with the score.

Then you need to stay home and get well 😂😂

It’s up to the opposing team to adjust their play against aggressive defensive play. Usually a team with a couple of good guards will adjust nicely. I don’t think the Tigers defense is as intense this year as it has been in the past. As long as the officiating is consistent it’s up to the teams to adjust .

I’m sure they’ll bring some in from somewhere. Overall the varsity officiating in our chapter this year has been pretty good.

This will be a seeding game. I believe the teams finished as co champs at 10-2.

It was definitely instant 😂

In this quote I don’t remember which official was on the ball. I know there was back to back inbound plays so I’m not sure if the officials rotated or not. My question was calling a touch foul with a foul to give and then not calling one on the exact same contact on the next possession. It’s either a foul on both or neither. Fouls have to be called by violation not situations. Like I said before overall the officials did a good job in the varsity game in a super charged atmosphere. I didn’t agree with the technical but I wasn’t on the floor, I do however know the HF coach was given a warning earlier for a much more demonstrative act. I tip my cap to HF though they did what they needed to do to win.

that was a joke

How in the world did they eject them if they weren't involved ? Tough break for those kids.

I hear there's a flu bug going around , they may have to.

At that point in the game I don't think anyone heard or could hear what was said. I think he more or less screamed towards the student section. It was only the second technical I've seen called on a player this year and have seen a lot more blatant examples not called. Like I said previously overall I thought the officials did a good job in the varsity game.

I’m not saying this isn’t a rule but if it is then it’s one that’s not enforced. I haven’t seen but 3 technicals given this year, 2 on coaches and none where this ruling was enforced.

I was sitting right in front of where the technical was called. The kid did get emotional but the young man that fouled and the official were both behind him. I just didn’t see an attempt to humiliate the opposition. I think in that instance the official got caught up in the moment just like the player. As far as the play with 11 seconds left goes if the touch foul with 14 seconds is called then you have to call physical contact that forces a player to the floor on the very next possession.If that foul is called the team possessing the ball goes to the line with one of the best FT shooters in the district . I don’t question any coaches strategy and very seldom question officiating but the two instances I mentioned changed the outcome of the game.

Overall I felt the crew did a good job. One of them I consider the best official in the chapter. My bone of contention is an immediate whistle on an intentional foul when a team has fouls to give but more contact completely ignored on the next inbound at the exact same location. If it’s a foul when the opposing team has fouls to give then it’s also a foul when they don’t.
