California State Championship Game
Did anyone see this game between Mater Dei and Archbishop Mitty (hope that's correct)? Anyhow, there were several controversial calls and non-calls but the icing on the cake was this play near the end of the first half...
Mater Dei player on a fast break, travels as he attempts to step around the defender who is in the lane waiting for the contact. The offensive player flips the ball at the basket when the big crash occurs. Everyone is thinking is it a block or a charge? Ref called a block (wrong IMO) and then they proceeded to count the basket! Problem was, the ball didn't go in the basket, there was no goaltending or basket interference as no other players challenged the shot. IT was amazing that in the championship game, I was the only one who saw (from my couch in Illinois!) that the ball didn't go in the basket. Oh well...
