darn, AAW beat me to it.  I will admit, he was far more precise in his answer. 

I just gave you the correct answer per NFHS rules. It is not OLDREF's progative to decide which ones you enforce & which ones you set aside. it appears lt sees everthing as black and white.  lt you may have provided the correct answer per the official rule book, but is it the right answer.  we are talking about HS basketball, not the NBA finals.  i would think the physical welfare of the injured player would be more important than 2 points.  Like i said in my prior post, a twisted ankle or knee or any other injury not involving blood, OLDREF probably wouldnt have stopped the play.  but due to the fact that the girl was bleeding, he went with his gut and stop play to tend to the injured player ASAP.  At least i learned the answer to the correct call, but can't fault OLDREF or anyone else for stopping the play.

I can't blame OLDREF for stopping the play.  i think at that point your natural instincts kick in and you become more concerned with the bloody mouth and the condition of the player vs the fastbreak.  I don't think he would have blown it dead over a twisted ankle, but the flow of blood is why he stopped it. I'm not a ref and i damn sure wont play one on this site.  So, i don't know what the correct or the answer is to the question.

i keep seeing the talk about the refs.  what does the ref have to do with a bad pass?  a turn over, missing free throws, missing open shots.?....they can call all the fouls in the world, good or bad, but still don't have anything to do with the the above mentioned issues.

kid took off his jersey and sat on the end of the bench?  if i would have done that, i wouldn't be worried about my coach, it would be my Dad that would beat my tail on the spot.  It would be like the beat down in Mr. Deeds..

The "redshirt" freshman are the ones that fail 9th grade (held back) and are trying the 9th grade again.  i thought every school did that. ;D

update on the score mr funny man?  assuming you can type and call the game at the same time..

thanks Dove.  It gets old to hear people whine and make excuses for a loss.  we missed free throws, we missed lay ups, our best player was out, the refs killed us....all that really matters at the end of the game is what the scoreboard says.  sure, you may be the better team, but if you don't show it on the scoreboard, it really doesn't matter.  Besides, HS basketball is made up of 20+ games, it really only matters if you lose the last one..

when you get beat, you get beat.  Excuses are for losers.  Take the loss, learn from it, and move on.

It is what it is. If the coach says no long hair, no ear rings, wear a shirt and tie, wear a jacket, whatever..if you want to play, do it. We are talking about high school kids, not pro, premadonna whiney adults.  Prior to my senior year, we didn't have a dress code. When the new coach came in and put his rules into place, not one kid quit. This was back in the days of the mullet and jeri (sp) curls.  Cut it or don't play. We all Played. Lace it up and hit the floor.

I agree, the victorious history of the HJ basketball program can't last forever.  Our golf team is the perfect example.  They went out and won district who knows how many times in a row and even had a run of 7 State Titles in a row during the mid 70's and early 80's.  Now, i have no idea how the golf team is doing or even if they still win district anymore.  What goes up must come down.  But at least the basketball program has always been a winner.  District Champs, Co Champs, or Runners up is the norm.  I can't recall a time when HJ didn't finish in one of the three spots.  It's not a big deal to win district or bi district.  It's expected.  Other schools would love to win a district title or just make the playoffs.  I feel the same way about our Football program.  I'm not saying HJ will never drop, but i just can't imagine dropping to the bottom of the district rankings, and staying there..I would be nice to get some new blood in the mix.  It tends to keep you from overlooking the teams you take for granted.

All this talk about HF is killing me.  When was/did HF become relevant when it came to basketball?  I keep thinking i am reading the Football or Baseball page.  To say that HF will be district champs in the future would be like me spitting out non sense that the HJ Football team will dominate district in the upcoming years.  Neither is going to happen.  Every now and again, HJ football will win just enough games to make it the 3rd team in district.  Same with HF in basketball.  One year not a dynasty made.  In 3 or 4 or 20 years, HF may win a few basketball games and may not be the district step child.  But for now, please know your role.  I will continue to keep my mouth shut when it comes to HJ football and beat my chest when they finally win vs proclaiming their dominance in the distant future and look like the village idiot to everyone reading this page.

what were the "T"s for?  Hard fouls, lip service, coaches actions....

oh well.  it's only one game.  You have to play with who you have and take the victory of the defeat.  Did you really think that HJ, Nederland, or any other team in SE Texas is going to run the table and go undefeated?  Relax, there is a lot more basketball to play.  Enjoy these early games and see what your team is made of and how they grow as the season goes on.  I expext both teams to make a good run in the playoffs.  Sorry i missed the game and had to rely on the website for the updates. 

ouch.  it looks like what i have heard about Nederland is true.  I here next years varsity squad is the real deal.

it appears that i can't listen on my Mac.  keep us posted with the scores..

84 or 85 at Lumberton.  Rocky Rocquemore came right down the middle of the lane and gave this poor kid from Lumberton the crotch facial.  I think there was even a picture of it in the Hardin County News.

Lazeek are you calling the game or restricting your radio face to home games only?
