BOD vs Valley Christian
- Thread starter TEAM_AR
- Start date
ODOWD has built a 10 pt lead early in 3rd. I would be surprised if valley christian stays within single digits.
15 and 21 for ODOWD are everywhere.

I really want to shout out the refs who did a terrible job. Bad calls I was ready to go to the trunk and get my foot locker shirt. I was told it was the same refa from the MM game not sure how true that was but those calls were bad. Yes AR fouled out but on some BS calls. Just my opinion.

I'll take that ref all day. SHC just lost by 5 and only shot 6 free throws the entire game. They called 11 TOTAL fouls on SMS. SHC had 4 players with 4 fouls. LETS CALL IT THE ST.PATRICK'S DAY MASSACRE!!

City,
You really going to blame refs for your loss? Really???? SHC got so many calls their way, it was almost comical. Refs called so many jump balls which were over the back and arm grabbing fouls. The refs called the fouls because you guys were actually fouling. All the fouls didn't matter, SMS shooting from the line was horrendous, they didn't capitalize there.
Was a great game, lets leave refs out. SMS won because they were a better team tonight. I could say SHC stayed close because of a sick PG, a starter out, missed tons of layups/put backs, didn't take as many 3s as they usually take, didn't pass the ball well.. See where this is going? I can blame a lot of things, but choose not to because excuses dont win games.

SHC shot 6 free throws the ENTIRE game how is that not lopsided? I didn't even mention Smith falling to the ground and no travel being called. The possession calls were off both ways as far as travels etc but I'm talking about FOULS. They called 11 total fouls on SMS the entire game so yes I'd like to think the refs had a little hand in this. Not making any excuses for the loss at all SHC had a lead and couldn't finish but all that invincible win by 20 talk you can miss me with.

And their biggest fan cries like a big baby! Next time, don't get so cocky! Lesson served.

You know, CityBoy wasn't making a great argument. But your argument -- we can't shoot free throws so it doesn't matter if the referees were favoring us -- is just downright stupid. Maybe you should just be quiet and revel in tonight's victory.

I have no clue what game you watched bro. SHC shot 6 TOTAL free throw the ENTIRE game how could they make 10? There were 11 total fouls called on SMS the ENTIRE game SHC was never in the bonus to shoot 10 free throws. Were you at the game or are you just talking out the side of you neck right now? Lastly, what does SHCs record have to do with how much they foul? I'm sorry I'm confused....

High school officiating is always inconsistent, and often even more so in postseason. Officials come from different sections to do games and sometimes aren't used to the pace and style of play; and players and coaches aren't used to these new officials.
I do know this: Often a discrepancy in free-throw attempts reflects more on the way the two teams are playing than it does on the officials. A team that goes to the basket more, has more quickness, creates contact without charging, will wind up with more free throws regardless of who's holding the whistle.
And of course there are times when the officiating is one-sided, but I can't take the total number of free-throw attempts as a perfect indicator of the quality of officiating.
In the end, of course, you have to be 10 points better, or maybe more, to overcome the random walk of referees' calls. And in postseason at this point, of course, few teams are 10 points better so the officials can become more crucial.
Every team can come up with reasons why it won or lost, but when the horn sounds, the scoreboard doesn't lie.
