Foul Fest

[zm1283]

I had JV game last week before a Varsity game. 52 minutes total. They played six minute quarters. I think we called six fouls in the first half and maybe 10 in the second half.

On the flip side I had a girls JV game a few weeks ago that went OT and lasted over an hour and a half. I don't think the clock ran for more than 15 seconds at at time. Out of bounds, AP throw-in, foul, timeout....you name it and it happened a lot.

Terp, how does your part of Rome feel about whacking flops?

(Oh, I've been in the 60s for fouls once or twice.)

Rarely. so much so, I've never seen or heard of it.

I'll verify that the 60 minute game does exist albeit rarely. We had a 46-4 blowout with only about ten fouls called the entire game and one the second half. Hoe team was a smal Christian school with maybe 5 of the seven girls being foreign exchange students from Rwanda. They got beat handily but appeared to have a good time being able to participate in such a high level of basketball. The visitors were gracious the second half and did not press or play defense really for that matter, thus only one foul called. They must of instituted a ten pass rule because they passed a lot before they were allowed to take a shot. But we were exactly a hour on time. It was awesome.

Had a girls varsity game similar to this recently. A total blowout. The winning teams coach decided to not contest any shot attempts by the other team in the second half. He said, "let them shoot and work on rebounding".

I'm not sure why 46-4 would ever be classified as awesome.

I had a 54 foul JV boys game last Tuesday with multiple technical fouls.
