The post game on-court shenanigans could have serious repercussions for one of the teams that played last night.
Serra-St. Ignatius
- Thread starter Streak One
- Start date
Lincoln240, Marcaletti had no choice but to play Begovich. They were getting destroyed without him. I have to wonder if the commenters actually watched the game.
One thing you can always count on is Chuck's team playing outstanding defense. I'd love to know what he told his team at halftime. It certainly worked. He knew that without good ballhandlers, SI might panic and throw the ball away. They did, over and over.
“We’re all going to be famous when it’s over,” Coach Rapp said he told the team at halftime.

They lost the game because they couldn’t break the press and get easy baskets! That was the difference. Begovich was a non factor on either side in the second half.
They weren’t going to have him guard McDonald and they couldn’t get him the ball in the press break. They needed to send guys to the ball and pass through the press and score easy uncontested layups. No coach will take the press off until they get best with layups.
He did have a choice. They needed him in the end to possibly hit winning three of grab crucial rebounds.
They also only had 4 players on the court when they came out of a TO in last couple minutes. Not too mention arguing and discontent on the bench.... I just call it the way I see it
Just curious did you play in high school or college or have you ever coached?
What about the SI assistant coaching brain trust? Where were those guys in the second half? Confusion on the bench seemed to be rampant through the final period.
In his post game comments, Marcaletti specifically mentioned that he was disappointed in his players trying to dribble through the press. You can coach your players to do the right thing and still have them panic and do foolish things like dribbling through a press.
As I stated earlier, guard play in HS basketball is critical and can get you far. SI graduated three 3-year starting guards last year in Trammel, Beckman and Redmond. Robinson is more of a wing player and both he and Begovich flourished with the veteran trio getting them easy buckets...
Interesting question. In high school, I dont believe there is any. The biggest factor is talent. I dont think Aaron Gordon cared if he played at home gym at Mitty or a barn in the middle of nowhere. He was going to dominate regardless. In college and pros yes home court does give you a slight advantage in most cases.
What do you mean? Can't 300 Brett Kavanagh's run mad crazy onto the court after a huge improbable comback win?
If safety was in the balance and this is a recurring thing happening year after year, its the principal or dean's responsibility to get on the mic, tell the students, dont think about storming the court or you will deal with the consequences.
Agreed, SI doesnt have a Trevor Dunbar or Darion Trammell that is a one man press break. Robinson is a scorer, not really a ball handler.
No one has Trevor Dunbar anymore, not even Trevor Dunbar. In fact, he now wants to be known as Yahsun LaMoor Bey. His Twitter account is well, let's say...interesting. https://twitter.com/TrevD_ST The deeper you read, the more interesting it becomes including no longer being a US citizen.
From the Examiner....
After the final horn, multiple Serra fans and players were going after the St. Ignatius fans, with a few crotch-grabbing gestures involved.
“The crowd was saying a lot of mean stuff to our players, so I felt like they deserved that,” Fitz said.
Security staff and administrators from both schools had to step in, including St. Ignatius principal Patrick Ruff. Though fans were directed to separate exits, they ultimately reconvened in the hallways outside the gym to continue the feud.

Interesting that the BAOSN.TV replay of the game was temporarily taken down today.
I went to college at Seton Hall in 2005-2006. We beat West Virginia who was ranked no. 11 at the time. We rushed the court.
In college if you beat a team ranked in the top 25 and it was a long shot, go ahead and rush the court imo. I wish we could say all students just rush to the middle of the court and go back to your seats after celebrating with the team, but there’s always that guy who wants to rub it in.
In high school you should really only rush the court if you win a Championship. Stuart Hall came back from 20 pts down to win the NCS NorCal Championship over St. Mary’s. The players came over to us after the game. That seems like a lot safer a scenario than just bull rushing the court.

No disrespect Ayalar but Stuart Hall wouldn’t win a single game in WCAL! Don’t hate on a great HS atmosphere like the jungle! You’ll lost to SHC! WCAL best league top to bottom in Nor Cal! Stuart Hall has a good little program going no need to hate because of a few bad apples and court rush!
Apparently the crotch grabbing and associated instruction on what to do with items being grabbed directed generally toward SI fans including parents.
The court rush is fine..whatever, but start doing or talking nasty smack to a wife or Mom and you may have just started something you should have thought twice about.

The Daily Journal didn’t find anything so egregious as to report on it. They simply reported the game story. From my perspective:
SI had a huge lead in the first half and mercilessly taunted the Serra kids. When Serra turned on the jets in the second half, the Serra section went crazy with energy. The Serra kids did the “goodbye” chant at the end. Left with nothing else, the SI kids chanted “SI rejects.” This pissed off the Serra kids and led to a bad gesture.
Incredible game overall.
I thought SI saved the reject chant for SH kids? Didn’t know that applied to others. Leave it to the elitists to say such a douchy insult. Yes this is totally the way to live Jesus in their hearts.
That darn “Squee”! He’s always causing trouble. Lol! Kudos on the Kavanaugh take!
I love how you bring up our loss to SH. Meanwhile you fail to mention that Serra lost to Miramonte while Stuart Hall beat that same team.
I’d say right now Stuart Hall can compete with just about anybody, and I hope we get seeded in CIF with St Francis, so they can show you head to head. Some teams get better as the season goes on, and Stuart Hall is one of those teams!
Serra admin look like SWAT corralling their kids as they stormed court.
Look, the SI administration has had a bad couple of weeks. SI section looked like the Republican National Convention. I stopped the tape and saw not one minority in the group. The school is what it is. Otherwise, great atmosphere school spirit-wise.
I imagine hard one for Cats to get over.

Safe to assume that Stuart Hall won't be placed in a crappy D4 for another cakewalk to Golden 1 Center this year! We'll see what they're made of later this month in NorCals as they'll have to EARN their way to Sacramento this year........
After watching the video, that game looked primed for a riot. Good thing there was plenty of security on hand.
Home court definitely matters in high schools to the 99.9999999999% of teams that don’t have Aaron Gordon lol.
There is a reason why teams get frustrated with seeding misses come playoff time
*Sarcasm voice* Aaron Gordon would never lose a WCAL game on the road, even at a place like Serra.
AG lost at Serra his junior year...oh and his Senior year too!

Yeah. Just saw the video...The video didn't show any Padre fans taunting the SI section as there was plenty of security including San Mateo's Finest on the floor. Pretty low class move from the SI student section shouting "SI Rejects!" They do get a little too personal - as this was also evident when Riordan played the 'Cats a few weeks ago. Win / lose with class I always say.
