The other night I went over to a local highschool to watch a game between two rival schools. It was a very close game from the beginning, but there was something that I seen in the 4th quarter that I really don’t know if I agree with. The two officials were from my association, but I didn’t feel it was my place to say anything and it was just my opinion of the situation.

The game was in the 4th quarter with 1 minute left. Team B was trying to foul team A. Player 12 from B wraps his arms around player 21 (from team B)s chest. (He was not trying to hurt him, he was just trying to keep him from the ball and foul him.) At this point and time, me personally would have called an intentional, but nothing was called. 21 breaks out and pushes 12 trying to get him off. The referee calls a flagrant technical foul on both players an ejects them. This was senior night and the last game for the home team, and yes, 21 was senior. The parents, fans, coaches, went wild.

I just believe that this could have been prevented if they would have called at least a holding foul, not just let it go.

What do you think?
