Interesting End of Game Sequence
7th Grade Boys Tournament game last week. Team A is down 53-50 with the ball, less than 15 seconds left. I am the L. As A brings ball down the floor, partner calls a block on B32 with 9 seconds left. Knowing it was his 5th foul, he heads to the bench and rips off his jersey in disgust on the floor while shaking his head (kid had attitude problems earlier and had already been warned). Partner T's up 32, I administer the 1-1 for the block, which he misses the front end. Same player shoots technical free throws. Makes both to pull within one. A ball sideline, A hits a 15 ft. turnaround at the horn to win 54-53. As we are leaving the court, the AD for the district tells my partner that he should have just warned the kid and he determined the outcome of the game.
