Nevermind...i just found old news story on web.

Just saw that DCR has a new coach this year. Was not aware there was a change. Where did Coach Rhodes go?

In district play... Tucker averaged 18.6 ppg Chard averaged 17.0 Rhodes averaged 16.1 Regarding MVP..My opinion Tucker was PC's best all-around player but he missed 20% of his team's district games. May have been a factor in coaches selection.

Wow...do you really think that was Trotter's plan? Make the other team shoot and miss, get the ball, run some clock, make a shot and repeat the process? You should write that plan down and patent it before Trotter does because I don't think anyone has thought of that before. The point is...the fewer possessions in this game, the better chance Summertown had to win...simple as that. When PC held the ball it supported Summertown's plan of limiting possessions. When the ball was tossed up, Summertown was 1 possession away from taking the lead. When the game ended Summertown was 2 possessions from taking the lead. Not bad.

Did you even think before you posted? Why would PC want to slow it down/hold the ball? That's exactly what Summertown wanted...your last sentence confirms this Einstein. How in the heck did you find your way home tonight?

Raise your hand if you think this would have been a 1 possession game at half and a 2 possession game at the end if Summertown plays a regular pace game? I don't see many hands... Summertown's plan of limiting possessions worked. Don't rip on a coach when his gameplan keeps a team in it until the final minute....especially when a team is without is 2nd leading scorer. And who said PC coach was giving S'town a taste of their own medicine by holding the ball...heck that knucklehead was helping Trotter with his game plan.

I did not quote a rule...not sure what you are talking about. I merely corrected a previous post by another member that stated "runner must avoid contact no matter what". The poster replied and agreed that he was incorrect by using the broad statement "runner must avoid contact no matter what". Please inform all of us as to which rule you are referring.

Wrong ...wrong...and just plain wrong. It pains me sometimes to read some of the BS that people who think they know the rules and then quote them here. No where in the FED rulebook does it state that a runner must avoid contact. By the way...what you stated is wrong.

What do you expect? You are an adult (assumption) who is responsible for the instruction, leadership, and well-being of a group of other people's children and you come to a public internet forum (that is in no way affiliated with TSSAA) for guidance on what to do when you have been removed from a game for unsportsmanlike behavior? Glock is right..your first and only action should have been with your AD, who should know the proper proceedings for this activity.

The defender never has to have his feet set. You will not find this phrase in a rule book. As you mentioned, the phrase "legal guarding position" is the requirement. And a defender may be moving (foward, backward, up and down and still have legal guarding position (ie...a defender may have both feet off the floor, jumping straight up vertically and maintain legal guarding position). Often you will hear on a charge call "he wasn't set!"...maybe so, but he doesn't have to be.

Thank you for supporting my statement. Still no mention of "having feet planted" or anything regarding "momentum".

Wrong, wrong and wrong. Please read a rule book and then copy and paste here when you find this statement. Thanks.

Interesting..I would like to have heard the referee's explanation to the coach. I can also understand giving a little "leeway" considering the circumstances, unless it was something obvious like running around or through the other team. Also, did you say the coach had to sit for the entire game because of this technical?

I am sure there is more to the story than what you posted here. I did not see what happenend but is it possible, due to your reference of coming out in 2 lines, that when they entered the court they split into 2 lines around the opposing team's end of the floor? Again, I did not see this but just making an assumtion based on your post. If they actually did this, it is an automatic technical foul (no judgement).
