In The Marion and Whitwell game the officials did exactly what they were suppose to do with the jump ball with 2 seconds left. Marion has just tied up the ball and recieved the alternate possession. The table does not immediately change the direction of the possession arrow. Good defense by Whitwell resulted in another tie up on the Marion inbounds play. Things happened very fast. The table had not chaged the possession arrow yet and was showing possesion belonging to Marion. Had the official not stepped in and corrected the error, Marion would have received the ball again. When the ball is tied up, the ref is to look at the table which has the responsibility of keeping the possession arrow. The ref in this case caught the error and made the correct adjustment. The refs did a good job. Marion had 21 fouls while Whitell had 20. Whitwell shot 36 free throws while Marion shot 25. The refs did their job and allowed two great players, Thomas and Kilgore, to show their abilities and heart.
