I disagree when you place all the blame on the two "stupid"(quoted from your post) JV girls. As varsity players, for one they should never stood back and let the situation escalate into a fight. True leaders wouldn't have been immature themselves and let the argument turn physical. But come on, to be so stupid as to video it and put it on the internet!!!!! That's just crazy......... So let's not jump the gun and point ALL the blame on the two JV girls. Everyone is responsible. (even the two boys players).....

Hello, have you ever heard of a gal named, Lauren Avant. It just so happens that she committed to the Lady Vols as an 8th grader.........

.. as long as the player has control of the ball, before he/she leaves the ground, then the timeout should be granted....

Isn't Andy Rines the coach there now? If so, didn't he used to do your job PTS@ the Plaintalk?????? So there's actually a chance PTS could be a coach down the road..... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

PTS, where is the district tourney this year? or anyone who knows..

Dyron Nix for President!!!!!!! /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

I know this an east TN post but.........grainger09 has opened this up to the whole state.... I agree McBee is a special player, BUT there's this on kid in Memphis by the name of Leslie McDonald that's headed to Chapel Hill.......

Yeah PTS, where are all these fair weather(G'ville) fans???????? Why am I not hearing all you Devil fans? What's happened?

Last time I checked, McBee is very athletic, quick and can shoot.......and UT doesn't have any long range shooters either.....

Nope, not a ref, just a realist and not a hater. I love the game and realize that there is gonna be human error involved(on refs, players and coaches). Not just in basketball, but in life, I hate hearing people make excuses. Good statements PTS.......wish I could have been there, heard it was a fantastic atmosphere....... /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

jmoore are you sure you aren't from Greeneville? You sound just like them after losing. Why must you make excuses and blame the game on the referees? How many turnovers did CC have? How many free throws did they miss? How many wide open shots did they miss? Maybe ptssportwriter can chime in on this.... I simply don't like it when people make excuses.....human error is part of the game...(that's if the refs were as bad as you say) and I take what people say about the officiating with a grain of salt because 99 percent of people have no clue as to what they are talking about and are "homers"......don't be a "homer" and make excuses as to why you lost........If MW and CC play 10 times....MW wins 9 of them...CC is a good team....MW is simply the the better team!

more excuses....If it's not the refs fault then you are blaming injuries....If you haven't noticed Greeneville isn't the only team to EVER deal with injuries...... no one wants or wishes injuries to players but, A GOOD team deals with it fights through... ENOUGH WITH ALL YOUR EXCUSES..!!!!!!!!!!!

excuses, excuses.....

A win is a win and a loss is a loss, no matter the circumstances......every game has circumstances great teams must play through them!

I here Duncan is on the "Hot Seat"......can anyone comfirm this?

Why? I understand that you are a Greeneville fan. You should always be proud of your team and school, but why must you always make excuses for losing? Can you not just give the other team the credit they deserve? I have seen many of your posts and 90% of them have excuses why your Lady Devils didn't win. I have watched Greeneville all week. Their best overall game by far, was the D-B game......Greeneville is a descent team, but no where near the talent you think they have..........minus 35 they're not very talented. 35 only plays when she wants to........if she doesn't pick it up next year......she'll find out what pine feels like...

Listened to part of the shows.....sounds like some "homers" doing a show in their mom's basement.......not impressed at all........

Ref didn't T him up across the court!!! Ref was in front of the table giving his signal to book keeper.....sounds like denial to me.......quit being a homer and face the fact. The score was close in the first quarter. You and I both know that East wasn't even in the game when West got off the bus!!!!!!!!!

From the teams he coached, there's not much difference in your analogy... /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" /> /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Let's get the video out. For your information, I was there and am making no assumptions from here say, got it, let's get that straight. Whine all you want, but from where I was sitting I saw the ref reporting his foul and Livesay waived him off to his face. It's not like Livesay has ever whined or waived an official off for a call he didn't like. But to do it to the refs face, come on, we all know what's coming next. To me that's showmanship of the coach. If Livesay thought they were still in the game, then it's a bonehead move on his part in getting the T......A good coach would never do that!!! So next time you spout off, maybe you should watch the tape or know what you are talking about before making an UNBIASED assessment!!!! COACH..

East was only in the game from the time the refs threw it up until the end of the 1st quarter when the Score was 14-12. West then held East to 1 pt in the 2nd quarter. West led 30(or 28)-13 at halftime. From what I saw, Livesay was displeased with the foul called on Orrick and waved the ref off. From what I've been told by refs, coaches will automatically get t'd up for waving them off. Really don't have any negativity about the officiating as I thought they were consistant all night, which is all I ever ask. Just my 2 cents.......

Were all the schools looking at Hall or were some of them looking at Depew and Buda?

Any shot with 0.3 seconds has to be tipped.... and a tip only....so yes it can happen...!

42-0 after 1st quarter and yes 1st string did play in part of the 2nd quarter..........
