Ahhh..........the old reflexive pronoun, just remove the other two names and see if it sounds correct.

My understanding is the officials did huddle up with 6.6 seconds left in the game, and they did talk through that. They did say, ‘Hey, unless there’s a flagrant foul, we do not call a foul. This game goes to overtime.’

My gawd! I sure as hell hope they don't say that when they huddle up.

OK - here's the definitive criteria. Apparently, according to this schmuck, having an official call a foul when a player gets fouled is against district protocol. I guess this state's association is not an NF member and does not use NF rules. Why didn't they just say so in the first place?

This guy is indicative of what's wrong with public education these days. I think the official in question should offer to trade places with this guy. He should tell him, "You come out on the court and call the game and I'll talk to the media like an a$$hole."

Parental malpractice.

Looks to me that the school has alot of problems and are trying to blame other people.

I thought it was a great call.
If he hadn't of made it then the other team is going to be doing the same thing. The foul affected the shot, it didn't even hit the rim.

OHSAA SAID REF DIDN’T VIOLATE ANY RULES OR PROCEDURES

The Ohio High School Athletic Association had two words for Trotwood-Madison High School on Wednesday, March 18.

Case closed.

Trotwood-Madison wanted the OHSAA to acknowledge that referee xxxxxx xxxxxxxx made a mistake by calling a foul with eight-tenths of a second remaining in the Rams’ 52-51 Division I district championship loss to Centerville at UD Arena on Saturday, March 14.

But the governing body of Ohio high school athletics refused that acknowledgment because the official did not violate any rules or procedures.

“If a rule was misinterpreted or an official’s procedure was misapplied, then that is something we would potentially acknowledge,” said Tim Stried, OHSAA’s director of information services. “But this (Trotwood’s complaint) doesn’t have anything to do with that. Several of us watched the video and it’s clear the official thought it was a foul, and that’s the end of the story. It’s over.”

OHSAA bylaws prohibit schools from protesting the outcome of games.

“It’s for this very reason,” Stried said. “If we allowed protests, gosh, we’d have a thousand protests a month from folks who said there was a missed call or a bad call. That’s why we don’t allow for protests. Officials’ decisions at the site are final.”

Trotwood principal Gerald Cox said he addressed his concerns in a letter to the OHSAA, and that he’ll comment after contacting the association.

Educational Malpractice.

They shouldn't have let it come down to that one call. If they want to blame someone, blame themselves. I'm sure somebody missed a couple of free throws or a layup somewhere that kept them from winning by five or so points.

Officials are on the court to be the only unbiased arbiters of the game. Officials are not concerned with who wins or loses, but only fairness and safety. Everyone else in that gym cares about winning, and therefore cannot look at the game objectively. Players commit fouls and violations; officials view those infractions, judge the action, and then apply the rules of the game to what they had viewed. The rules then determine the penalty.

yeah I didn't mean anything. I'm not anti-Christian or anything. I was just getting tired of the people running around with the John 3 16 signs.
