17 Point Basketball Play

[Bobcatfan4life]

I got this in an email. Thought I'd share it.

"Rio (the white team) is behind by 11 points with 12 seconds left when the referees award them 18 free throws on technical fouls because players on the other team left the bench when their teammate was deliberately fouled. Mind you, there was no fighting, they just left the bench and were protesting. The team that was behind ended up winning the game"

wow, that was pathetic.  awarding 18 freethrows when HS kids are unable to control their emotions and come off the bench when their player is slung around and tackled.  what a joke.

the worst the about it is that the fans and players celebrate like they think they actually deserved to win.  if the coach had had any class he would've either pulled his players from the court or had his player blatantly miss them on purpose.

I'd say win the game then worry bout the rest at a later time when all has been settled.

Maybe the other coach should teach his team not to leave the bench.  I am just going by what is stated because I am blocked by my provider from youtube.  RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE'S ACTIONS!!! This is missing in our society and sports.

Pull the kids off the court!! Miss free throws on purpose!!  Should Harvick give back his trophy for winning Daytona due to a rain out??  Should the golfer pay back his winnings at peeble beach because they only played three rounds??  NO!  All of these situations were not the winners faults.  They had no control over the weather or the other team being so undisciplined that they left the bench.

  17 point play?  If they made 17 of 18 free throws then maybe they DO deserve to win!  ;D
