last second shot

fullor30

I'm terrible at pulling up old threads, searching in archives.............

There was a thread a year or two ago on a last second shot from past half court that decided a state championship(?) with video link. I searched youtube with no luck.

The officials were skewered for call and all I can recall after watching tape 20 times was I still couldn't make up my mind if good or not.

Anybody remember it? It may have been Southeast somewhere.

This was in South Carolina last year. I am sure you can find the tape somewhere; there were about 3 different angles. Even ESPN covered the story of the team that eventually won, because they were honoring a fallen fireman that was once their coach but he died in fire before the basketball season.

BTW, the ESPN Story did not show a conclusive angle (because they were there covering the team).

No, I do not think that is the situation he is talking about. This took place in South Carolina and we spent about 3 different threads on that topic.

I do not think many people care that much about girl's basketball either. 😉

I'll keep looking then. As for girls basketball, I care, if it means that I do a state final!

I would rather not work a single playoff game, let alone a state final if that was the only goal. And when I hear officials that have been honored work a state final qualify it by saying "It is in girl's basketball" that is all I need to know. But then again that is just me. 😉

It is not about being good it is about choices. And where I live we are allowed to not accept assignments from certain levels, including the different levels of boy's and girl's basketball (4 different levels--each gender has 1A-2A and 3A/4A). And most officials that work the post season on the boy's side do not accept girl's assignments. I am glad I have choices. Good has nothing to do with it.

Sorry you do not have choices. 🙂

FWIW, I think that shot counted in the South Carolina game. I'm 99% sure I heard the horn go off while you could see the ball in the air.

That's it! Sending to a few folks for their opinion.

Thanks Juggles..........

Plenty of guys do both up my way JR, in fact two just did girls finals this weekend.

You're correct though about it being a choice.

I did not say there were not plenty of guys that worked both. I can tell you that by far most officials I worked with this year, most do not work girl's basketball. And even a smaller percentage worked post season. I worked with more officials that worked college ball this year than worked any girl's basketball.

I can only aspire to reach such heights.
