this was the 4A championship game for Idaho and the officials were having a nice ride until this little bobble; it was a play where it would have seemed obvious that it was a two shot foul; but turned out the calling official called the push in the back that happened right before the rebound and shot, so it was 1 and 1. I was sitting high in the bleachers and saw the administering referee say 2 shots and I new it was about to hit the fan if he missed the first shot; it was unfortunate but they handled the clean up as best they could; unfortunately the game kind of went into the crapper after that, not really there fault but there were a couple of hot heads. Just another reminder of how important communication is; I felt like the calling official should have been on top of things, he should have known he had surprised everyone when he called 1 and 1 and he should have been watching his partner carefully to make sure they were on the same page; but he relaxed, like we all do from time to time;

boiseball,
Just curious, but was this game done 2-man or 3-man?

Had this happen before. Partner called a foul and everyone in the gym thought it was in the act of shooting as did I. But he didn't indicate that the foul was before the shot and I ***/u/me it was a two shot foul. Long story short, it's all about communication and it's another lesson learned.

2 man, everything in Idaho always has been, always will be, 2 man; hence, I pine everyday for Cleveland again and the joys of 3 man

Even state games at the Idaho Center? I coulda sworn I saw 'em do 3 man there. Probably bad memory...

from what I understand, and I am new to Idaho, this was my first year, but from what I understand they did 3 man for one year, sometime in the last 10 years and I have heard every excuse under the sun for why they immediately went back to 2 man
