Case in point:
Quote:
Loachapoka coach Terry Murph couldn’t have begged any harder for a timeout.
Trailing by four to Auburn with 4.5 seconds left, Loachapoka forced a turnover on an inbounds pass and Quin Richardson scored quickly with just over 2 seconds left.
Murph screamed for a timeout. He jumped up and down to draw the attention of one of the three referees. He did everything short of running across the court to get in the face of an official to get the timeout called.
The refs didn’t see him.
Time ran out.
Auburn won, 52-50.

It happens. It would have been better had the players learned when to call TO. But these are HS varsity kids.
