I just watched the first half...wow.

I saw 3 officials that were:

A) Not fit enough to work this game.

B) Not prepared for what was clearly going to be a challenging game.

C) Mechanically so quick to run in and then run to the table that they continuously failed to officiate dead ball situations.

D) That allowed the Harrisburg coach to dictate the first half. He was constantly out of the box yelling and it appeared his complaining worked because there were whistles right after several times.

E) There was no consistency in calls. There is a quick 3 seconds call on one end and a kid camps the whole frontcourt possession on the other end. Bodies are hitting the floor one trip with no call and the next we see a touch foul 30 feet from the basket.

F) #11 for Harrisburg is that player a good pregame would have stopped. He is that kid that you know was gonna be your headache. He talks trash, he initiates contact and he cheap shots after the play.

I hate bad mouthing fellow officials but this game was a disaster.

And the double T was a result of poor mechanics. Trail does not stay with the players but immediately turns to report. I am not sure how lead misses the push in the back that happens right in front of him. Possibly because of instead of watching he was doing what he did all game, running into the players instead of OBSERVING them. Lastly why all the emotion giving the T. He is moving in big whack on the first one, now he is right there next to the kid, causing the second one.
