I was watching the game in the lounge before our Association banquet with about 15 other basketball officials. Not a one said anything about the travel calls - he did!
The room did cringe when the last shot was blocked expecting a foul call with the body. The replay did show otherwise. Well done by the officials. Interesting that Steve Welmer was one of the crew working the game. To attach back to another thread it yet another game in a row for Mr Welmer.
BTW - The guest speaker was former Ohio State standout and now part time radio host Jay Burson. Jay Burson held the Ohio High School career scoring record until last Friday night when he was surpassed by none other than THE Jon Diebler. Burson and family were guests of the school for the game. About 2000 packed into a gym that holds 1500 (where's the fire marshall?). Fans gave Burson a standing "O" upon his entering into the gym. They passed out those give away basketballs. Jay said he thought he signed every single one. The best part was when his own 6 year old son asked him to sign a ball, not knowing why everyone else was asking for his dad's autograph.
