Mess in KY days ahead of Sweet Sixteen

More than 1,500 high school basketball fans showed up last night for a Seventh Region Tournament final that was never played.

 

The Jeffersontown and Ballard teams and their backers arrived at Louisville Gardens only to find out the 7 o'clock game had been delayed and eventually postponed because of a temporary injunction that referee Vic Montgomery was granted in Jefferson County Circuit Court.

 

The incident started Friday night in the Gardens. During halftime of the DeSales-Western game, Montgomery, who was working the game, and Darrell Bailey, who was scheduled to work the evening's final game, got involved in a verbal exchange that started in the officials' locker room and carried into the arena.

 

Both were escorted from the building. Montgomery was replaced for the second half of the DeSales-Western game, and Bailey was replaced in the Doss-Pleasure Ridge Park game.

That's kind of pathetic, every one has differences and there are people I don't like at work but I still get the job done.

this is my first year coaching in Kentucky, this is not much of a shock...the officials up here are..I do not know how to explain it....they enforce what rules they want..it changes from night to night as to what will be called and enforced..I have never missed Tennessee offcials so much..i took my JV team down to play in Tennessee and all the fans and the other coaches said they would love to have officials that actually called the game somewhat correctly....

 

and some officials, not all, think the fans come to see them officiate...it was like that in Tennessee but it is worse in Kentucky

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
