1000th point

[GoodwillRef]

Do we all forget that this is a kid's game and most high school players never get close to 1000 points and if we can't stop the game for one minute what does that say about us as a society. It is all about sportsmanship...but that is a word that has been lost in/on most gyms, field, and diamonds!!!

1. No one here objects to stopping the game.

2. I don't think it says anything in particular about our society one way or the other.

Shouldn't you be telling both opposing head coachs this, and not us?

It's got dick-all to do with the officials. and we sureasheck shouldn't be lectured for something that we have nothing to do with. We enforce sportsmanship under the rules that we are given. We're doing our job. We can't make up our own rules to indiscriminately stop games though.

I have no problem with honoring kids for their accomplishments. I said earlier, it's all about the kids.

I think there are some logistical issues that go along with when the ceremony takes place that must be ironed out before hand. I like the idea of stopping the game only if the accomplishment happens in the first three quarters.

They stopped the game and threw me a ceremony when I tossed my 1000th coach. Wish I had it on video.

I recently had my 1,000 beer at lunch prior to 1,000 7:30 tipoffs.

Why did you do that? Had you just won a gold medal?

This was a single season milestone, right?

Team A is playing it's last game of the season. It didn't have enough wins to make either the conference, or state, tournament, so this is their last game of the season, win, or lose. Senior captain A1 needs twenty-one points to score 1000 points in his high school career, and both the officials, and the Team B head coach are informed that a ceremony will take place when that milestone is reached, at which time Team A will use one of their timeouts to stop the game. Both coaches and the officials agree to this. Team A is losing by fifteen points with seconds to play in the fourth period. A1 now has eighteen points in the game. A1 drives down the lane, gets fouled in the act of shooting, releases the ball, and with the ball in flight, the buzzer sounds to end the game. The ball goes in the basket. Team B now leads by thirteen points. Lead official sounds his whistle for the foul a fraction of a second after the final buzzer sounds. A1 now has 999 career points.

NFHS 5-6: Each quarter or extra period ends when the signal illuminates or sounds indicating time has expired. EXCEPTIONS: 3. No free throw(s) shall be attempted after time has expired for the fourth quarter or any extra period, unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game.

What's an official to do?

That's going to be a lot of unsporting Ts.

Probably did the same on your 1,000th game, too. "Mr. Mark Padgett has not allowed a game to go to overtime in his entire career folks - that's 32,000 playing minutes."
