losing team wants ref apology

[derwil]

Looked at the replay...looks OK to me. Defender hit the shooters arm below the wrist. Easy to tell as the ball comes off the hand "funny" and almost missed the backboard.

If he would have block the ball the ball would have gone a different direction than it did.

[just another ref]

From the article: "We have several students, parents, staff members and community members who believe the call at the end of the game was not the proper call," Principal Gerald Cox said, "and that it should not have been made given the particular circumstances — the end of the game; district final; score tied. They just felt that the foul was not blatant enough, flagrant enough.



The foul was not blatant/flagrant enough? It would have been okay at other points in the game? The particular circumstances?

I say a bunch of us should gather and throw rocks at this school.

I'm glad the principal told us that wasn't a flagrant foul. I was pretty torn on the issue.

Nah, he said it wasn't "flagrant enough." Whatever the F*** that means.

Educational Malpractice.

So true. I am going to send the link to this thread to the principal and losing school.

Respectfully,

Well said...I am sure there aren't any other pressing issues at this high school that the princi(PAL) and the staff could be channeling their energies into.

Clearly looks like a foul to me from what we where shown. That being said the officials was in a good position and the direction of the ball does not doubt what he called.

I guess this is one of these, "The officials should not decide the game, the players should...." BS points of view.

Peace

I also e-mailed the Principal.
