NW4A TOURNAMENT PAIRINGS

I glad someone else has some problems with the officiating in this area. The same elbow "violation" was called in the ACHS vs ACR girls game on Monday. I like everyone else was expecting a foul, but the ball was just given to ACR like you described above. I have read something on an officials forum about this kind of violation but it has not sunk in with me yet. Oh by the way, according to this same officials forum, there is no such thing as reaching in unless there is contact and even then if it is incidental contact it is ignored?!?!? (I think I am going to have to have some more coffee) The forum is www.officialforum.com and there are different threads for different sports. It makes for some interesting reading, especailly when they talk about the things that us fans yell, the rules we do not understand, and what some coaches don't know (which I hope to be one of those again before too long, a coach that is...).

 

I remember that "violation" in the ACHS/ACR girls game and I was confused as well about the call. I really didn't want to complain about the officials because I didn't want people to think it was because our guys lost last night, but MAN I am gald others see it as well! I have noticed it in other games also. I wish there was a way for them to be reviewed by the NCHSAA and graded on their preformance. In our guys game with SC in the first half SC shot 23 foul shot to our 6, and for the game they shot 45 to our 17. Something just isn't right there!

 

Dont remember the exact number Monday night but seems like ACR was called for 7 fouls, all night....and again if you go to that officals forum they will talk about people fussing because the fouls are not evenly called....oh well, not much to say or do....I would like to get ahold of the assignors in this area about 3 official in particular....but that is for another day!... :xyzthumbs

 

I am not here to say we got all the calls or not, however, I do remember your team was in the 1 and 1 in the second half so I know we had 7 fouls in the second half! However it will make you feel better to know our guys paid for it the next night as SC shot more foul shots 23 in the first half then we did the whole game. You are right though, something isn't right in our area.... :xyzthumbs

 

We were?..must have missed that...oh well, no biggie....I also have a theory about the assigning of officials to high school games, at least in our area, but of course I am sure it would be disputed by those that make the decisions.

 

Yeah, I know the book keeper for us, and I asked to make sure. Anyway, I have a feeling I know about your theory as well.....

 

Does your theory involve the actual schools playing and their sport history?

 

Well, it is close to that.....
