1. Notice the C's position when the ball hits him.

Why was he so close to the lane? Step down if anything, but don't close in on the play unless you have a held ball or foul.

2. Was the girl in the act of shooting when the foul was called?

No. He got this part right.


3. Why was there such a long conversation and what could the C have added?

Your guess is as good as mine. I'm not sure why the C came in like that. Officiate the dead ball period and help the old Trail get the shooter while the L reports the foul. That part made them look bad IMO.

On an unrelated note, is it common for coaches there to wear sweatpants and long sleeve t-shirts for state championship games like the white team's HC?
I'm not sure about the attire. The Mississippi Boy's state champion coach wore a white suit to the game.

I have to ask, why do you say step down at the C? Without looking at the play, I'm not sure if that is the correct way to get an open look; actually stepping up will help many times when the ball is headed toward the hoop. I know one school of thought is to step down all the time, but that will keep a "stacked" point of view many times.

My guess is the C had an imaginary ring in his nose with an imaginary rope attached to it and the ball. In other words, he was ball watching big time, wanted a closer look and got caught up. Sadly, the fact that the ball hit him could have decided the state championship. Or should I say it could have been a huge factor in the outcome.
