I am thinking that the coach is referring to the fact that if a player dunks AND hangs on the rim in pregame, the player is assessed a technical foul. If a player dunks AND hangs on the rim during the GAME, the player is assessed a technical foul. If the backboard shatters during PREGAME, the game is a forfeit. If the backboard shatters during the GAME, the game is rescheduled. I don't know if that is what the coach really meant or not, but there are times when the writer misinterprets/improperly documents EXACTLY what the speaker intended (for those who have ever been interviewed for a story, perhaps you can understand). Just a possibility in this case. Net: Be careful before you start throwing stones as you might not have all your facts correct. |
I was watching a game at Arkansas State a few years ago when a player from Western Kentucky shattered a backboard on a dunk.
It was unbelievable to see this in person, but the safety concerns were scary. Several players were covered with glass, and fans several rows up in the endzone had glass on them as well. A couple of players were treated for minor cuts. The incident in Montana could have been avoided if the officials had been on the court. During the playoffs here, we work a different crew each game. As soon as one game is complete, the next crew hits the floor. Of course, if they worked the same crew in consecutive games, I can see where the crew would want to refresh a moment. We have several school here that have seats in the end. I don't like them. Usually, the students sit there and give the opposing players and officials a headache. |

There does not have to be officials on the floor... Only 15 minutes prior to game time we dont know when this dunk happened...
secondly ".... he told his team no dunking in pregame warmups, but when he got to the tournament there were other teams dunking in pregame. He told his kids it was OK." The coach openly told his kids it was ok to break the rules... Instead of the manuevering, just tell the press, that we apologize to the fans who travelled, our team made a mistake in breaking the rules that had severe consequences. The team learned a valuable lesson. |

In true double elimination, a team continues to participate and has a chance to win the championship until they have lost twice. What Oregon does have is a consolation bracket....sometimes called double elimination...but not accurately so. It is true that two losses means you're done, but 3 teams end the Oregon Tourney with just a single loss....the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place teams (8 team final tourney in each class). W+W+W = Champion W+W+L = 2nd W+L+W = 3rd W+L+L = 5th L+W+W = 4th L+W+L = 6th L+L = OUT |
