I'm sure if the ref said that it was probably taken out of context... like the left does with a lot of things the president says lol

 

Example:

Coach- "Hey man...you alright?  You guys look tired."

Ref- "Don't worry coach, we got this."

Fan 1 - "Oh my Goodness....the ref just told the Argyle coach "don't worry, we got this"

Fan 2 - "Holy cow!  A lady just told me that the Argyle coach asked the ref to help them out...and they agreed! she heard it"

Fan 3 - "Well...no surprise we lost.  A guy told me that his wife heard a lady say that she saw the coach give the ref a $100 bill to make sure they won"

Fan 4 - "I didn't want to bring this up earlier, but... (insert above statement)"

Refs can NOT influence the outcome of a game.  They can definitely influence the outcome of possessions/calls which can change momentum.  Like state earlier...refs can't make one team make shots or another team miss shots.  There were 32 minutes of game time and literally any one sinlge mistake that Center made could've made the difference in the game.  How many free throws did Center miss?  Or easy shots?  Unforced turnovers?.... Get out of here with that nonsense.  That is a very poor excuse for losing a game.

"I sat close to a lady that stood behind the bench that heard the ref tell the coach...."

Give me a break.  Tell you what.  Let's just blame the Russians.

Although I agree with the gist of what you are saying, I disagree that a ref can't influence the outcome.  Now I am not going to blame or even direct a suspicion to any particular game, ref or instance. But in a close game a bad call or two can definitely influence an outcome,  especially say a bad travel or charge call that takes a possible game winning it tying bucket off the scoreboard.  And a ref could also take a teams best player or players out of the game with foul calls. And yes I realize it's the players responsibility to adjust but you get into that inconsistency aspect of officiating as well.

What about all of the situations and possessions that led up to that?.... A lot of stuff can happen one way or another that would have prevented a game from being close enough for one possession to dictate the outcome. Literally...1 missed shot or turnover could've changed the entire situation.

This is the last I'm saying about argyle/center because obviously this is an argyle/silsbee thread. 

As for refs...Yea I think they could've been better. Do I think they beat center? Not exactly. Center was 10-17 from FT's for the game and missed 9 or so shots right around the bucket (4ft or less) if I counted correctly (I've watched the film twice now). If half of these go in and a few more FT's we win by double digits. Cookie just didn't crumble our way Friday evening. Just how it goes sometimes. With that said, I do have some interesting numbers that I wrote down. Through 3 qtrs, center had a total of 8 fouls called against them, while argyle had 13. I think there were a couple missed calls both ways through 3 qtrs. The score was 36-34 argyle's favor heading to 4th. In the 4th qtr, argyle committed 3 fouls. 2 of which were intentional "take" fouls with under 1 min to go. Center, on the other hand, had 8 fouls called against them in the 4th. Only 1 was intentional, late in 4th. Argyle shot 6-12 from FT's in the 4th, Center was 0-0. Argyle did not have a made FG over the last 4:30 or so of the game. All points from then on were FT's. 

It was unfortunate for Center, but it is what it is. Life goes on. I'll be pulling for the Tigers to get it done against Argyle Friday afternoon.

2 things:

1st...if they missed 7 ft's and 9 or so shots around the rim then yes...that's what cost them the game.  Refs had nothing to do with that.

2nd...you can not compare the foul count of 2 teams that play different styles of basketball or defense.  If one team plays more aggressive defense or just bad defense then they will always commit more fouls.

They played the same style of defense...

That is true but that ref at that point has still affected the outcome no matter how they reached that point.

False.  Had they made their free throws and easy buckets the bad call would not have been noticed.  Or if the call had happened earlier in the game.

Back on topic.  If Silsbee can successfully speed the game up they will win.  If Argyle can successfully slow the game down they will have a chance at winning.  I personally think that Silsbee has the definite advantage.

Could Silsbee be the area's WO-S for basketball ? Both undersized teams with overwhelming athletics 

 

WO-S football 

2014- heartbreaking loss in state championship

2015- state championship 

2016- state championship 

 

Silsbee baskeball 

2016- heartbreaking loss in state championship 

2017- state title 

2018- rinse and repeat ?

Silsbee has a LONG way to go in order to compare their basketball team to WO-S football. Not even  close, or even in the same conversation.

Brad from Hoopinsider with their twitter reviews they had earlier tonight has picked Silsbee over Argyle in a close game and Brazosport over Heritage. He believes the championship game will be 

Silsbee vs Brazosport and Silsbee with the advantage due their depth and pressure D! 

Hopefully his picks are on the money! 

Let's go Tigers Get that Ring!

I wasn't going to bring this up but since we have gotten this far, I think I will. A woman from Paris who sat close to me during the Argyle- Center game, told me after the Paris-Argyle game that she was standing behind the Argyle bench before the Center game when a ref came up to the Argyle coach and told him not to worry, the refs had this. I have no reason to believe this woman would not be telling the truth about this. Why would she make something like that up? Now you read between the lines oldschool2.

Hmmmmm, interesting.

Boy, aren't you the delusional one. Good or bad calls, refs DO influence the outcome of a game. Duh!

 

Says the guy who obviously has blamed many a loss on the refs.  If you think one, two, or even a few calls dictate the end result then you're a moron.

Example:  Misses 7 free throws, misses 9 shots at the rim, several turnovers....blames refs on a 2 point loss.

Tell me again who's delusional.

I get what you're saying, but rider78 & Fighting Lama tried explaining to you in several of their post their view of it, but you're so set on that only you're points are correct, that you're not willing to stop and think that they may actually have a good argument. Trying to talk to you is like beating a dead horse, it's pointless. That's why I say your delusional.

I see both of their points.  I understand perfectly what they're saying.  At that particular point in the game, a bad call on a possession at the end of a close game could cause 1 team to win or lose.

My point is this.  There is literally an hour and a half (minimum) of game other than that that could've kept the game from even getting to the point where 1 possession can do so much damage.  I'm afraid that I won't sway on that.  I hear it all the time.  

"Refs blew that call at the end and it costed us the game."  

Why was it that close?

"Well..we played a bad first half."

Umm..that's what cost you the game.

    • Sen. Tom Cotton was talking about all the tents set up at the Ivy League schools. Poor college stundents are so poor they scream to have the debt "forgiven" (transferred to us) but suddenly hundreds of brand new $500 tents show up. That Soros money does a lot.

    • The Bible prophesied the destruction and restoration of Israel and the gathering back of God’s people. I don’t know about the purity of the twelve tribes, but God’s word is true regardless of how man interprets it. God says he will bless those the support Israel. Many consider Israel bullies because they don’t agree with the magnitude of their defense towards their attackers. The Old Testament is full of God’s support of the annihilation of their enemies.  
    • Here is the facebook post for y'all   I’m not going to put names or schools on this, but feel free to screen shot it to whoever you like. Yes yes, I’m a baseball guy. But I love football more than baseball. My son played all three sports in high school. So I’m not a baseball only guy. But if your high school football coach has your Varsity baseball son doing football drills in pads right now, that is wrong. At one certain school, the baseball team lost their starting third baseman (Gladiator kid) because he dislocated his elbow in a football drill. Two weeks before high school baseball playoffs, and now his season is done. Basically this coaches decision to make Varsity baseball players do football workouts on April 22nd, 5 months before Friday night lights, just sabotaged this kids season, and the teams season. And once again, I’m a huge football supporter, but this is wrong!! This is why kids stop playing football. Coaches preach they want kids playing all the sports, well how about respect baseball season, from Feb to May !  If the shoe was on the other foot, and a kid got injured playing baseball in October and he was a varsity football starter, what would that coach do? Be pissed off! And I would 100% agree with him! There is a reason I don’t have a fall baseball program with football guys. Because I respect football season. All I’m asking is football coaches to respect baseball season. Respect the High School baseball coaches that have worked their ass off to try to get their team in a playoff situation. Support them, don’t Sabotage them by taking their players out because of a “all important April 22nd” football workout. And I don’t want to hear this was bad luck, or any crap like that!!!A lot of these kids are Division One Baseball players, and just good high school football players. If you want to continue to have these kids play football, start doing the right thing. If not, I’m going to try to get those kids quit football and just focus on baseball. And let me say it again, I want all my Gladiator kids playing football!! I go support them watching their football games, and I love it!! But not at the cost of an injury in April playing football, not baseball . Bad miss……Do a better job! Be a better football coach, and remember, it’s not about you, but it’s about the kids who respect you and will do anything you ask them to do. Don’t punish them for being a good baseball or basketball player!!
    • Only if you ignore the Constitution. I get the sentiment but I sometimes ponder when others may say, “We always support the Constitution”, “The Constitution has to be followed as the law of the land”, etc.  When in reality they mean, “I LOVE THE CONSTITUTION……. except the parts I don’t like”. There are certainly parts of the Constitution that I would change if I had the option.
