Joe,

I have been officiating HS basketball for one year. So, I guess I am not that qualified to know when a foul should be called. However, Alabama was obviously attempting to foul. In my opinion, a foul should have been called.

I try very hard to maintain my objectivity when posting on this board, and I feel as though I do a decent job of this. I feel as though I have a pretty good knowledge of the game of basketball. I never even considered officiating until guys like Doug Shows, Tony Greene, Tom Lopes, and Doug Sirmons told me that it was something I would be good at. While my post may not have been all that objective, I don't feel as though I deserved to be called an "idiot fan." All I did was post my opinion of the way the game was called. Apparently, SEC Head of Officiating Gerald Boudreaux thinks it should have been handled a little differently too.
