Cool It was the worst officiated game against us

all season. But we were a very young team. Finished 7-13, had only 2 seniors. Started an all-freshman backcourt. Knew that we would take our lumps. The only game other than this that had questionable officiating was the Prep B Final Lawrenceville v. St. Benedict's. Benedict's got called for 9 technical fouls. The asst. coach got 2 and tossed. First, for "protecting his players". Second for telling a fan to "shut the *&^% up." Then the head coach got tossed. Then the athletic director got tossed for coming out of the stands and asking the officials who was going to coach the team. The freshman coach finished up. Got them to rally too. Then JR Smith got tossed after fouling out and throwing his sneaks into the crowd. I think that was a souvenir thing though. Finally, Galindo got tossed when while waiting to shoot a free throw, he thanked the refs for officiating a terrible game.

In NJSIAA, they have very strict rules on sportsmanship and coaches are held accountable for the players behavior and their own. The Prep schools must make their own rules. If a team in NJSIAA got 9 techs in a game, the coach and players would be suspended or worse. The team I now coach on used to be part of a league that was so notorious for incidents that they broke the league up. By incidents, I mean, shootouts (no kidding), fights outside after games, teams needing police escorts to buses, fights inside after games. Basketball games are much safer, have that community feel again.
