Dead ball contact (Video)

Secondly, if you see the very next play after that, the same player is fouled very hard just to stop the clock. The white coach reacted immediately after as if the opponent were trying to hurt his players after the T. It also must be noted that the player did not even complain. He knew what he was doing and was unemotional about the call which also fouled him out of the game. These teams had played 3 previous times with the team in white winning all those times. The big guy in white was not that uncoordinated or a flopper. But I appreciate the comments, just think the kid did that on purpose to give a little extra. I stand by that part of that judgment.

Peace

You were there for the entire game so you have a feel for the temperature of the game, and you have a much closer and better look than we have from the video. So if you think there was something extra there, than I would go with your instinct. My comments are based only on the video.

On a side note, the white coach is a douche bag. I wouldn't slow down, let alone call 911 if I saw him dying on the side of the road.

Lastly, congratulations on getting your first basketball super sectional this year.

I got that. I wasn't even thinking about that at first when I posted this. I was just taking the play for what it was. But I just realized how these things can be influenced by the "tempreture" as you stated.

I am sorry, I got a big chuckle out of that comment.

Thanks BTW.

I see a push, I see no problem with a T.

In a high school game, a two-handed shove like this near the end of the game absolutely needs to be penalized.

This is EXACTLY the type of play that, if allowed to occur without penalty, causes a good game to become one that includes a fight.

Good call JRut!

Thanks for sharing.

I like the call. Clearly after whistle excessive illegal contact. We can't ignore it, so we penalize it.

Good get. Not one that is always seen and called.
