LONG POST WARNING...I'M A TAD EXCITED
Quote:
Blue beat Green by one point on a last second three at the horn. The blue coach burning his last TO with 8 seconds on the clock set up the play. I was careful to talk with the table and set up help in the event the horn didn't work as time expired. Do you do this? The clock person is responsible for watching time expire and the book person watches the shooter. Trail is responsible for the play. In any event the horn worked and we didn't need the help. The game was a defensive battle. Green played tough inside, staying vertical and blocking shots. The crowd wanted fouls but my partner and I called few. Green was well coached and played with their hands and arms straight up. Blue was taking away the space when there was any body contact...NC. Crowd screamed but eventually settled down to watch a great defensive effort by both teams. Blue just kept attacking and playing tough defense too. Blue took away Green's perimeter game and challenged the taller green inside. They fouled more than Green but didn't get frustrated. They were well coached too. Blue started fouling with 1:30ish on the clock. Green missed the front end of three 1-1's. I didn't call the first foul intentional as blue made a play on the ball. I didn't call the rest intentional either. Should I have? Blue used the strategy to win the game. It was my first championship in that type of environment. The sound of the crowd erupting as the shot went through is one I'll never forget. I love this game! |
