Click on 1A basketball and then click on the Nantahala vs. Avery thread. Warning...typical fanboy nonsense involved.


Actually an interesting situation though....my apologies to beverly100. It is worthy of discussion.

Wow, face guarding a ref! Who knew? WWMPD?

Taking out all the fanboy stuff, it actually was a good read.

I've actually seen one very inexperienced adult ref leave the court crying during a Rec game due to a coaches behavior........I ended up finishing the game for her.

I stopped reading when I saw the 15-4 foul complaint.

Doesn't suprise me that the point differential ended up almost 30.

These message boards basically are all the same. The officials deliberately screwed us. Yada, yada, yada.

And on this particular one, I wouldn't believe anything unless it came from the officials involved, their association or the state.

I want to hear some coach complain to me about the score count. Or the travel count. Or the turnover count. Or the three point shot made count. Maybe we should endeavor to make sure they all don't get too lopsided as well.

What is it about fouls that somehow we should expect that they ought to be equal, or that the count of them ought to be something the official cares about?

...a quote from one of the "fans" posting on this link:

"I think it's about time coaches started making noise about these high school refs. These guys get into this line of work to make a few extra bucks but in reality they play a large part on the kid's college future."

Oh brother....

Yep!!!

Even to the point of, "We would have lost the game anyway, but it should have been only by 10. With the bad officiating we lost by 25. It's so unfair!!"

Which probably translates into: "They wouldn't have beat the spread if it weren't for the refs."

(5-4) "The referee shall forfeit the game if a team refuses to play after being instructed to do so by any official. The referee may also forfeit a game if any player, team member, bench personnel or coach...repeatedly commits...other acts which make a travesty of the game...."

Seems likely that face-guarding the official is making a travesty of the game, and leaving the court is certainly refusing to play. Forfeit is the no-brainer from my POV.

Being a North Carolina official myself for many years, a state association application was (not sure if it still is) that there had to be a school designated adult coach on the bench. IOW, if the coach and assistant(s) got ran, a parent was not allowed to assume coaching duties, nor was the student manager. This has not been mentioned in recent years, particularly as we have gone to the national test, but I'm guessing it will be front and center in next year's pre-season all-officials clinics.
