Boys Conference Tourney SemiFinal game tonight.

Team A 48, Team B 30.
Team B has scored exactly 10 points in the second half.
1 minute remaining.
Coach: "Ref, how can we have 10 fouls and they only have 5?"
BktBallRef: "Coach, the fouls were 5 to 5 before you started fouling to stop the clock."
Coach: "Oh yeah. I guess you're right."

Good grief!
Tony,
How did you stay awake?
I don't think a team with only five fouls even deserves to win a game. They just aren't playing hard enough.

Had a game a couple weeks ago with only two fouls in the entire first half. The home team didn't foul at all until the fourth quarter. It was just very good girls' basketball, and the defense was textbook. It wasn't boring at all because it was quite fast, but these girls knew how to set legal screens, how to use the screens that were there, and how to defend the dribbler. Now if they could just learn to shoot, they'd really get places.
