SNIPER Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Question???? Have you ever heard of this? Sequatchie is driving to the hole, a Mcminn player grabs her calf and cryes, the Referee calls a time out. Have you ever? Nobody can stop the play for a calf cramp, can they? But the Referee did, just as they were driving in for a layup. The Referee that was bald on top I think had to many friends on the McMinn side that he was talking to, thats the side I was on, and I thought He was pushing it just a little bite trying to call the game and visit. But now get this, their in the 4th quarter everything is neck and neck, and Sequatchie is driving to the hole for a layup and he stopes the game for a leg cramp!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmoses Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 The question is did he know it was a cramp. You said she cried out he may of thought she was injured and you have to remember its High School Sports the girls safety is #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdntn Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 the way ive always seen refs handle it is not take an officials timeout until the next dead ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach15 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 He would have had to have thought it was something major, because you are not supposed to stop any breaks to the basket. Although I agree safety comes first, that is the policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 If she'd been in the lane and could have been stepped on, I can see it, but she was out on the wing, maybe even past the three point line, completely away from the action. The girl was taking it to the basket from the foul line. This wasn't the reason Sequatchie lost but it sure didn't help when neither team led by more than four the entire game. My question would be what would he have done if this was with three seconds left in the game and a team was going in for a winning shot? And she certainly had a cramp, if anyone is thinking it's being implied she was faking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucdaddio Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 The rules state that you don't stop a fast break for an injury timeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! First off if the bald guy new any of the McMinn "CENTRAL" people and liked them, he would not have fouled out the top player. Also if he was one of our Dist. 5 Refs, we would have lost that game by 30 points. I have loved the calling we have seen in the district and region compared to what we have to deal with in regular season. The girl went down hard and held her leg, at first I thought she had torn another ACL. Good job for thinking of "safety first" ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indian Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 It wasn't really a fast break, Sequatchie had set up the offense and the guard drove to the basket from the top. While this was going on, a girl playing defense out on the wing went to the floor. I don't want to make too much of this because both teams played really hard and deserved to win, but it's what happened. With a game that close, each shot, call, missed free throw, walk, and any other mistake or good play was critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach15 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 If she was not near the play, they should have waited till...a)a basket was made, b)someone gained position on the rebound, c) the player stopped her drive....I know I am going to get screamed at for safety first...and I agree, but if she was not near the play he should have waited. I have seen girls go down in a half court set, and the referee would run and stand by her, to protect her until the play was done, just in case the play came her way.

Indian Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I agree. If either team had won by 15 or 20, nobody would have remembered this but that's not the way the game went. I still wonder what he would have done if it had been in the game's final seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach15 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 If it had been in the final seconds, I hope they would have had enough police to protect that referee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
