whsalum Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I hate to shoot your theory down Mr Reality but the ends of the floor has nothing to do with the officials.HD does normally get the benefits of the call at home,but probably not anymore than anyone else.

TheSwami Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Spurger was up pretty good at half when they played in Spurger also. I guess the refs were for HD there as well? Maybe it is just who has better halftime adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfan Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 As a former official, the ends of the court do matter. The personality of the refs matter. A good officiating team will be aware of this and adjust. If they don't it can change the whole game and the outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermdog Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 h.d. plays 7 on the court at home. spurger had them beat last year at h.d. till hd put 7 in the game if you no what i mean. HD used the Cleveland chapter of officials(do not know if they will this year). Cleveland officials do a good job of keeping the games under control. I have seen them talk to a coach and explain what is going on when other chapters will not. I feel that they call a good game. The problem is consistancy between chapters. One chapter will let you street ball and others will not. Cleveland handles some tough games in the area. And they keep it under control. They are a small chapter and are pretty selective who comes in and represents them. And, they have a few that are not as good as others. And HD has lost at home so your rule of seven is not true. As a coach, I appreciate the fact that they make you play basketball and not streetball. I have seen the rule of seven go against HD at home and away. The question is can your team adjust to the style of officiating or will they whine? We had several coaches ask for info on the chapter. So they can not be that bad.

whsalum Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 My point on the ends of the court is officials change positions through out the game.You don't have officials locked in to lead and trail positions for an entire half thus killing the argument that one team gets calls one half and the other team the next half.I have watched a lot of games in HD and I think they tend to let the kids play a little rougher over there than the officials in the Beaumont chapter,not saying it's wrong , you just gotta adjust.

I have to disagree with you on the rough play. I have the impression that Beaumont allows the rougher style of ball. I have seen more kids cut under going that direction than out of the Cleveland and Huntsville chapters. I was at the BC tourney two years ago(this example still stands out in my mind), I do not remember the kid from EC who drove the lane and was rebounding his missed shot. He was in the air and cut from under, rolled over the defenders back and then hit the ground and there was no call. Kid could have been seriously hurt. We played in Buna this year and our kid was fouled, no call. The HD player was hit and his direction was changed in mid air, no call. I would not bring that incident up, but people I knew from Buna were apologizing for the poor officiating. Now It happens in all chapters and everbody has a story. All I want is consistency. This only benefits the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATMAN Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 how right you are. the officials comes out of the houston chapter are the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whsalum Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 If the officials were locked in thats a training issue.When a foul is called underneath and the official comes out to report the trail official normally goes underneath thus swapping the lead and trail positions.Not sure what constitutes a foul when a kid is undercut,sometimes the player driving iniates the contact.I know I saw one under cut this year at Kountzes Summer Leauge and the official said it looked worse than it was ??? ??? ???.It looked like the kids haed was the first thing that hit the floor.This is probably a topic for another thread.HD has always been a rough place to play,I do agree though it doesn't matter as long as it's consistant.We have had some really good games there over the years.

Cayuga which had lost their 2nd game in the tournament had the better game in the Championship game and Spurger came away with Runner-up. The boys also had played the following teams to get ready for these tournament and came away with wins in all games ( Beaumont twice, Hampshire-Fannett, Bridge City, and Twin County). 2006' This group of boys had placed first in the Regional Tournament in Hull-Daisetta with a win with Hull, Evadale, & Hardin.

Alot of the kids that were with HD on the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP team, have moved away. I knew Spurger had some good young talent. And in my opinion, a really good coach, in Jerry Stappert.Good luck Spurger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officials should change on most calls, when practical. When they don't, its just not proffesional. I know that most of them know that they are supposed to change. Alot of times, its just plain lazy when they don't. (NOT ALL THE TIME THOUGH). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
