hawks77 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 The principal from silsbee called the principal from HJ and said he might not want to play the game because he thinks a riot will break out.
Guest Kelly Football Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Game has to be played, they are tied.
Guest DickVitale Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 ???...This is the playoffs, not some pre-district game! They can CLOSE the game to spectators, because it is still considered a DISTRICT playoff..That is up to the district committee chair school for 22-3A...Now once the actual STATE UIL playoffs start, that is no longer an option...

If they choose not to play the game HJ will win by forfeit since HJ beat Silsbee by more points than Silsbee beat HJ

hawks77 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Posted February 14, 2008 When will the decision be made? Im not sure probably sometime today or early tomorrow
Guest DickVitale Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 I dont profess to know it all...(OK yes I do, but... ;D) I just don't see how they could just cancel a district playoff game like that...It would be a first, although I just don't see it happening.
Informer Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Each district sets their own precedent in this case (district minutes/rules). This district policy (21-3A) says: If two teams are tied for first place they will be deemed co-champions and will play-off for seeding purposes in the play-offs. There are three options in this situation: 1)Â teams play 2)Â coin flip (BOTH schools must agree to this) 3)Â if school A wants to coin flip but school B refuses a coin flip then school A has the option to concede the first seed to school B

Thanks for the clarification...But what happens AFTER they have already decided to play...You cannot concede at that point.
Informer Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Technically, they could line up for the jump ball and then concede if they choose to.
Ulrich von Lichtenstein Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Is security that bad at the Montagne Center?
KHSAlum400 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Is this source "hawk77" even credible enough to be questioning? This game has been set since last week, and I'm sure there will be lots of security on hand at the Montagne for a triple-header.
KFDM COOP Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Talked to a Silsbee Coach and the Game is on!
w518991 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Absolutely not true spoke to multiple parties at silsbee high school!!!!! This kind of thread benefits no one!!
KHSAlum400 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Exactly.... I don't even know why we entertained this guy...

Guest nostradamus Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Quote from: DickVitale on Today at 12:59:17 PM I dont profess to know it all...(OK yes I do, but... ) I just don't see how they could just cancel a district playoff game like that...It would be a first, although I just don't see it happening. Right, yet again!! That doesn't mean you are right. It means you guessed right. They COULD have cancelled if they wanted to. They chose not to or never intended to.
Guest DickVitale Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 No, I was right because I stated that I did not see HOW that was going to happen in a district playoff situation...In pre-district, yes its possible, but in this situation the options were limited, and I said that, therefore, I was RIGHT. Again.
Guest nostradamus Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Here's HOW it could have happened: Coach decides after setting the game that he likes the route the second place team would have. Since teams are already co-champions and he knows the other team will insist on playing in lieu of a coin flip the coach concedes the game because he wants the second place route. That's HOW it COULD have happened. There ya go.
Guest DickVitale Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Yes, this is true, but not without at the least, a UIL reprimand..You don't decide AFTER the fact which route is best; that is to be done beforehand.
Guest nostradamus Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 If there is no contract then there is no repercussion and there is hardly ever a contract in basketball
Tiger90 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 Seen the principal today and this is not true.
