Dear Whistleblower, I am trying to find out if anything happened to the refs at the DC/CPA game at the state tournament. 4 major mistakes were made in the last 15 seconds - these weren't judgement calls, just a total breakdown in officiating. Maddux has all four of them on film and sent them to Ronnie Carter. I have the 3rd mistake on film - on the rebound from the missed free throw at the end, the clock remained at 4.1 seconds as the DC guy dribbled towards the half court line. Were those knuckleheads ever disciplined?

You're probably right - time to stop the insanity. However, I would like to ask one question - what will happen to the refs and the timekeeper - shouldn't they lose their jobs over this? I don't have a problem with the 3 at the end, it is the time clock mis-management that really begs a question - why did they do it?

I guess I'm posting with a complete moron. Let's go back to the beginning. Get a Websters and look up the meaning of "irony". You may be "confused" or you may be "befuddled" by my statements but finding irony in my post makes no sense and does not belong in your post - have you graduated from pre-school yet?. Once you recognize this, you will be so embarrased of your first sentence that you will grap your own pencil thin neck and punch yourself in the face at least 5 times. You are so dumb you're dumber than yourself.

Yup.

Dude, I don't live anywhere near DC. You've polluted the board with your silly adoubles posts. This is a sports post. Where I come from, we just grab your pencil thin wuss neck and beat the he-doublel out of you. You wanna talk b-ball, fine. You wanna talk your flower arranging, go to the Oprah channel. But, please just go away.

Just referring to your posts - and, yes, your mother is a man. Get over it, Mr. D-bag.

Can y'all take your silly little d-bag argument to the Oprah channel? We're talking sports here, not flower arranging. I was at the game and the DC fans were just fine. So, shut up.

Coach, let me help you out - I was probably 40 feet from the shot - his foot was about half-way over the 3 point line. How the ref missed it I'll never know but that is the quality we get around here.

If it is the same guy, he needs to be sent to the same place they send the clock guy - the unemployment line.

Good point on the traveling. And, when did palming become legal? And, the absolute worse call in the entire history of mankind was when Miller turns around, gives his shoulder to a DC guy, and the DC guy gets call for traveling. But, the scorekeeper and the refs should be fired for their management of the clock and the last shot.

In other words, the refs and the scorekeeper totally screwed up and should be fired. What a complete joke.

Good point. You hate to see the refs be a part of such a great game - I've been watching b-ball at all levels for a long time and that was about as exciting a game as I've ever seen. Half of that guy's foot was over the 3 point line - he was right in front of me - but that can't take away from such a great shot. DC is a great team with great players. But, the real loser is the refs - what a bunch of morons - maybe we should have no refs for the rest of the tourney and let one of the cheerleaders be a scorekeeper - definite upgrade.

Great observations Legend. I don't know why teams haven't pressured CPA like that all year. Give 'em the full court pressure, then double team Mason and Miller. The one thing I disagree with about CPA's offense is that when teams do this, Miller and Mason don't kick it out to one of the other guys. CPA has three great shooters: Anderson, Reeves and a guy who doesn't get nearly enough credit, Peterson - he was 4-4 tonight.

I don't think DC's win is in any way tainted - what a great game! And that cat made an absolutely impossible shot at the end - DC won the game. However, there were three unbelievable mis-steps by the refs. First, the clock operator didn't start the clock when there were 15 seconds on the clock - the refs finally noticed, but they should have run the clock down to compensate. Second, adding time to the clock was totally wrong - I don't see how that happened. What justification is there for that? Third, the cat's foot was on the three point line - he was right in front of me. So, the refs absolutely stink and should be fired. Now that I've got that off my chest, I'm rooting for DC to go all the way - they deserve the win and they are a fantastic team.

Touche!
