Basketball Thread About Nothing

Neither one of those plays resembled the initial play discussed..

They all came to a dribbling stop as opposed to starting with a jump stop then step thru..

 

[bigsupa]

I stand by what I said…. Refs are never wrong, even when they’re wrong. Can you imagine how their marriages are

Somethings are better left unsaid lol

bigsupa THoughts?

I think this was foul man. She didn't gain ANY advantage in that situation so why call a travel? -

You would have to carry me out - had an idiot do that to me in a mens league game about 10 years ago.

Doesn't look like a travel to me...Am I tripping?

 

[duke40]

^^^That’s what I thought too

 

[datznasty]

Research that ref's lineage. He probably got family or some connection to the red team. Even the other ref is like wtf

She didnt even kill her dribble to call the timeout, she couldnt have possibly traveled

Bro this would be me at the other end.

Unfortunately I can’t speak for him but I know for a FACT he got a call from the supervisor and had some SERIOUS explaining AND some serious apologizing to do.

They got rid of the “bird dog” because it made officials look threatening and demeaning to players when they used that mechanic for a foul call.

This was the bird dog

This is what we use now

Nah you fine bruh

Curry did kinda ruin the game BUT also made it better for the refs.. LOL

Overall kids 6-10 can barely shoot from the free throw line yet they chucking 3s any moment they get..

Even in HS. Dudes just chuck from the moment they pass half court.

To ME it’s better.. my games go by quicker.. less fouls to be called. No action in the paint means less whistles to be blown. I love when a shooting team tells me the fouls are 6-2 and to call it even. My reply has always been the same. I can’t call a foul for you when you’re taking uncontested 3s. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm guessing there's more to the story. Whenever a video starts or ends abruptly that's the first thing I think. Haven't gone looking for an article yet but typically there's an explanation that makes sense.

Anyway, I don't know what school that is with the kid dunking but those jerseys with a silhouette of Africa on the shorts ?

Aha! Found an article. It's Ohio and It's obvious what happened, and it's ridiculous that it's still happening.

DAYTON — For Africentric, the defining moment of Friday's Division III state semifinal loss won't be the back-to-back 3-pointers Ottawa-Glandorf sophomore Colin White made late in the third quarter that cut the Nubians' lead to just four points.

It won't be the 13-2 second quarter that took them from trailing the Titans 12-8 to holding a commanding 21-14 lead at halftime. It won't be the jump shot White made with 5:51 left in the fourth quarter to put Ottawa-Glandorf back in the lead.

It'll be the moment junior Dailyn Swain's feet hit the ground after a dunk with 4:09 left to play.

The dunk brought the Nubians within four points of the lead, but the officials perceived Swain to have hung on the rim unnecessarily and whistled him for a technical foul. Swain was stunned by the call, as were Africentric coach Michael Bates and Swain's teammates.

Though Ottawa-Glandorf only outscored the Nubians by one point the rest of the way, going on to a 53-48 win, in Bates' view, the technical foul changed the momentum of the game.

"There’s a few things that just didn’t go our way," Bates said. "I don’t want to get fined. I’m gonna be honest. I just don’t want to get fined. I’m trying to be as positive as possible. But I’ve got kids in the locker room crying.
Africentric's Dailyn Swain dunks the ball against Ottawa-Glandorf during the Division III state semifinal game at UD Arena on March 18. Africentric lost 53-48.

"There was some stuff that should’ve been called that I didn’t think got called. There’s some things that did get called that I didn’t think should’ve gotten called. I think that some of those things might have swayed the momentum in the game."

Swain did everything he could down the stretch to close the gap for Africentric, with seven points, three rebounds, an assist and a steal all in the final 3:24 of the game. He finished with 32 points on 13-of-18 shooting, 13 rebounds, seven steals, three assists and two blocks.

But it appeared that some of his energy was sapped by the technical — a subsequent dunk was noticeably gentler — and Ottawa-Glandorf's momentum proved too much to overcome, despite Swain's performance throughout the game.

"I think he’s definitely Mr. Basketball," Bates said. "He’s the best player in the state of Ohio, regardless of division, regardless of class. He’s a phenomenal offensive talent, but he also plays defense. ... He’s the best player in the state of Ohio, and he put that on display today for everybody to see."

Added Swain: "It’s a great atmosphere. A lot of people there, a lot of energy. I knew it could be my last game, so I put my all into it."

SMH at that ref. I hope he gets fired. 100% ********.

 

[youngwolf]

The kid’s feet weren’t underneath him yet. Does the ref want him to land on his hip?

[friscostylez]

To be fair, sometimes these techs happen not because of that play but a cumulation of things and/or prior warnings
