More State Tournament Fun

[rockyroad]

So here is the excitement from Washington's 4A State tournament...the first video is of the full court shot that the Union HS kid hit at the buzzer. Union lost by 1. The second clip is of the possession right before the full court shot...same kid hits a shot and the C overrules the L during the timeout and calls it a 2...the guy at C ended up working the Championship game the next night.

Ouch, I apologize for being critical, but this is unacceptable!

On the 3 that was changed to a 2, I only see one official in the screen. WTH is the C at?? Looks like hes lolligaging in the most pivotal part of the game.
Honestly, I dont see how the T could've marked a 3 point attempt judging by where he is. This is clearly an example of when the L should be cognizant of his partners poor positioning & sneaking a peak at the transitional game tying try.

And the last shot was clearly G O N E prior to the horn.

Here, if we do a semi thats it, we cant get the final too.
If thats not the case where you work, he should've lost that gig!
C'Mon man!!

I'm with tref, my first observation is where in the world are the officials? The C doesn't ever get past half court. That was CLEARLY a 3. So I'm guessing the announcer says its a 3 without any signal from the officials, and the officials convene and say it was a two because we were being lazy and not running the floor so we could see the play. The L probably should have picked up the slack here (since not much was happening in his primary yet) but you can't peg it on him. That is embarrasing.

Hard to defend the crew on this one.

The C chooses the last minute of the game to stop hustling, not a good look at all.

The Lead was hustling but had a lot of bodies in between him and the shooter so it would be hard for him to get a good look. Plus, as the Lead, I would have assumed the C was going to be in position to mark any 3-point shots on his half the court.

This is why they pay for a 3-Man crew......State should get some of their money back. Geesh...

After reviewing the film & acknowledging my shortcomings that ultimately cost the kids a trip to the finals, I personally, would've removed myself from the C'Ship!

But then again, everybody doesn't review their work, ma.y times its just on to the next one. Smh

That being said, no... Nobody is perfect, I make mistakes too. I just try not to make em gamers.

While I agree with your assessment, please read OP again ... "same kid hits a shot and the C overrules the L during the timeout and calls it a 2". This makes it only worse.

I stand corrected, the L exhibited "a nice piece of officiating" by sneaking a peak. Not much more you do when the R takes over the game... well, except use the phrase that pays, "I'm 100% certain & I accept full responsibility!" If that doesnt work, then it is what it is...

All the more reason why I get upset at guys that don't value physical conditioning or try to get "in shape" during the season. Your inability to keep up with the game will rear its ugly head sometime. Only this time it was on the biggest stage.

Sad.

I don't believe this specific instance had to do with physical conditioning as much as it had to do with officiating till the final horn. Looks like he was thinking about a hot shower a few seconds too soon......

I was making that statement overall moreso that this specific play. Conditioning can put you in or out of position for these key plays after you have been running for 31:50 hard.
