2013 IHSA 2A Boys' Final...Plays to Consider

[ballgame99]

2013 IHSA Boys Basketball 2A Championship - South Holland (Seton Academy) vs Harrisburg (Event): Illinois: PlayOn! Sports

I had a sick day with nothing to watch on TV, so I watched this whole game. I actually thought the first half was well officiated. Only had a couple plays outside of the two block/PCs that have been discussed that I raised an eyebrow at. Thought the T and ejection was warrented. They had Td both sides for some chippiness. If you watch the whole game, Seton was in complete control, up 10 with close to 2 minutes and does a little stall, draw the foul, then #4 blows up. They miss the front of their 1and1, Harrisburg makes 4 of 4 T shots and closes the half strong. #4 cost his team big time.

Would love to get some input on a couple crashes. This crew seemed to struggle with PC/block/NC all day. Check these out:
7:38 of 3rd (1:29 on video) - looks like a good NC on minimal contact
6:55 of 3rd (1:30.20 on video)- looks like a block to me, they NC it.
2:57 of 3rd (1:40.3)- looks like block or NC to me (contact on outside of shoulder) but they PC it
1:30 of 3rd - good no call
4:55 of 4th (1:54)- NC on what looks like a PC but needs a whistle IMO.
4:16 of 4th (1:57)- PC looked like a block or NC (contact on outside of shoulder)

There were a couple strange calls that go against Seton at 2:40 of 4th (looked like an obvious open court foul but NC) and a phantom travel at 2:25. Not sure if that is what coach was upset about.

All that said, Harrisberg had some tough calls go against them too. They obviously overcame them and handled them better than Seton did by making thier FTs AND maintaining composure and just making shots.

I'll put these plays on another clip and open a new thread.

This game has turned into something bad...


Illinois state championship game marred by accusations of racism

Good article. Seems this game was almost cancelled at halftime.
