Scariest games ever

[Mark Padgett]

The other day I had two games on the same evening that were two point games in the final seconds and in each one, the trailing team missed a relatively easy two-pointer that would have sent each game into OT.

I'm still having nightmares about it.

Of course, if either game had gone into OT, I would have blamed my partner.

I called a GV game a few years ago that matched perhaps the two worst teams in girls HS b-ball history. If my partners & I had called everything we'd still be there At the end the home team missed a shot at the buzzer that would have sent us into OT. I still wake in a cold sweat after nightmares about that monster

I just got home from a double overtime game. There was nobody to blame except players forgetting to shoot.

I had one with 3 overtimes. The players did shoot, sometimes, but they would not score even in a bathtub (as we use to say here): the second OT ended 3-3.

Another time I was in the stands and the girls' game ended after three overtimes (more than two hours). At the end of the third OT the team down by two tried a lay-up: the ball started to turn on the rim, the time elapsed, and after what seemed some minutes the ball finally went out of the basket. Of course the blame was on the two officials. It was a Sunday morning and we had lunch well past 3pm.

EG, you obviously got confused and posted a soccer score. This is that basketball forum.

That was a basketball score? Then. . . WOW!

Well, it was the partial score in the second overtime only! Thought it was obvious! No game ends 3-3 after regulation, not even 8 year old kids' games!

In that overtime both teams were almost at their worst; maybe one field goal and four FTs went in (with many fouls and bonus FTs, of course). In the third OT, the visitors were exhausted; their opponents were still breathing, so they won "easily". Horrible game, but the officials were great. We just couldn't avoid the OTs.

Remember that the next time you hear Dickie V assail the ap arrow. 4 jump balls in one night?
