I think you should just ignore that comment. He/she is obviously out of touch with officiating.

There were 32 fouls called in the first half alone.

This made me cringe even more!

Why?

Which of the 32 calls weren't good ones and also necessary? Please be exact.

I will not speak for All Heart, but I say that 32 fouls in a game are a lot. Even if every call was correct, I would hate a game with 32 in a single half. I had a game this year where we called 21 fouls on one time in a half and at least 31 in that same half. Then the coach that had the 21 fouls actually got upset that I tried to talk one of his players about not committing a possible intentional foul.

Peace

JRut got it.

I was just commenting on how it's no fun to call a game like that. For all we know they called the perfect game.

I wonder if the whole game will be posted on the net somewhere. If anyone finds out let us know.

MTD, Sr.

OJ was ruled ineligible in Ohio because he is 19 not because of attending HS for 4 years . . . in WV I think you can still attend HS until you are 27, the only stipulation is that you cannot enter into a grade past one your father is currently enrolled in . . .

I've had games where we've called that many in a half. There's no way you can get any type of flow going with a foul called every 30 seconds.

Not saying not to call fouls you have to get and all 32 in this game may have been "have to get" fouls. But it would be no fun working the game.

I just love the comments on the newpaper's page with the "officials were out to get HHS" What a load of ****. I'm sure that when Mike Lazo and crew were assigned this game they were excited to see a highly competitive HS game with one of the more touted HS players on the court. Besides HHS was a talented team without Mr. Mayo.

I saw Mayo in the OHSAA finals last year and he was the real deal. His running mate Bill Walker was crying the entire game. When Walker wasn't crying he was cherrypicking and not even playing defense. (My 14 yo son's observations)
Too bad Mr. Mayo actually had to play a game where there was some competition. I'm sure the number of fouls called were to avoid just such a situation combined with the potential trash talking involved.

Final line if you bump into an official after having a "T" called on you, you are asking for the ejection.

And these are just fouls. What about the violations, timeouts and any other stoppage of play that might take place. Sometimes if the game is close it is not that bad, but when it is a blowout that is another issue all together.

On that note, in West Virginia, if you divorce your wife, is she still your cousin?

No, but she's still your sister.

That doesn't apply to barnyard animals though, does it?

I think I read that somewhere....Farmers Almanac maybe.

The first part is not true. OJ turned 19 in November. Ohio's cutoff is August 1st. He would have been eligible had he stayed at North College Hill High School.

Lets assume for the sake of argument that there had been no yapping or incidents prior to this dunk. Can the official still give a T for catching the dunk and walking down the floor? Or is a delay of game warning mandatory since its the first offense?
