Pregame dunk costs team playoff game
Not what you may think. The back board shattered. State rule: you forfeit.

Wow, that is kind of funny.

Shouldn't have dunked in the first place before the game. That simple.

Peace

Agreed, I also find this gem from the coach kind of funny.

If a backboard is broken with a dunk in a game, Mount said there is a technical called, but it is not a forfeit. He wonders why there is a difference.
Well coach, maybe because dunking is legal during the game, but illegal during pregame? I'm going out on a limb here, but I think that could have something to do with it.

Maybe the state of Montana should come in overrule this decision; you know you cannot have rules followed during the post season?

Peace

"Mount said 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."

C'Mon, The kid is 5'11", they should cut him a break! Invoke the "Spud Webb Rule."

Love how the coach is trying to deflect blame and tell his team it was an injustice or bad break that they just have to live with.

Good lesson, kiddies. Break the rules - pay the price - but blame everybody but yourselves.

I want that guy coaching my kids.

A double elimination tournament? First time I have heard of it in HS. Any other states have those?

Did anyone else notice the stands behind the backboard? Are those spectator bleachers behind the endline? I haven's seen may high schools like that.

My HS used to have them. They ended up making a storage area in that end of the gym. Enrollment was 1300 when I went there. Around 1000 now. And attendance at basketball games there is not anywhere near what it used to be.

I would not say most high schools have this, but I have seen quite a few. That is not uncommon in certain places at least in this state.

eh- they already lost so not too much sympathy. However, that is ridiculous that a backboard would break from someone that size. Kind of dangerous too. Maybe leagues need to start checking that out

Oregon has had double elimination for years.

I remember a big school or two having that in Iowa. I haven't seen it in Colorado, though.

Tough life lesson: follow the rules, and don't be a lemming. Oh well. A billion chinese won't care tomorrow.
