This season I worked a game, the H team was unranked, V team ranked in top 10. H team played hard and was only down by three halfway through the 2nd quarter, when their best player picked up his 2nd foul and coach put him on the bench. Then, down by 3 with 4:13 on the clock their guard got the ball and stood just across the division line until there was 10 seconds left, then they ran an isolation for last shot.

And you know the best part the V team was complaining the whole time but not willing to come within 16 feet much less 6 feet to do anything about it.

IMO if officials could figure out how far 6 feet really is, we'd have no need for a shot clock.

(That was the easiest 4 minutes of basketball I've ever officiated)
