Imbalance

[Adam]

My question is, what level is this? I know it's a semifinal playoff game, but what level?

high school?
middle school?

Is this the game that gets you to the state tournament?
Is this the game that gets you to the state tournament final?
Is this the game that gets you to the city finals? What sort of playoff are we talking about here?

If it's high school playoffs, you really should consider 3 rather than 2, but that's a post for a different day.

Coach - remember this one thing: there are only 2 (or 3) people in the entire building who don't care who wins the game.

Their only concern is that the game doesn't go into OT.

I point this out because what I am about to explain has occurred before when one team plays a simple zone and another team plays an aggressive man. In the 4th quarter, of what was a continual1-3 point difference, I had 3 of my starters foul out of the game. And let me point out that they weren't in foul trouble the first half! The home team, during the second half, committed a total of 3 team fouls. One official had control of the entire game, where the other one just ran up and down the floor. I am not the type of coach that takes credit for wins and blames officials for losses. Please, someone let me see this 'travesty' from a different perspective. Right now all I can think is we were hosed...

How are we supposed to comment on something we didn't see?

After reading his post, I don't believe that Wolves Coach would agree with Mark Padgett's assertation.
