She should have been given at least 2, and been ejected. It should have cost her team the game.

I have to agree with you! Yes the girl shooting missed two of her free throws, but I would have assumed Macon County would have put their best free throw shooter to the line for the technical free throws to potentially hit them and seal the deal and call it a ball game, and a gold ball.

Tough break Macon county.  You all will be back very young talented team. 

Was a clean two hand block all the way there was no contact game was over . No overtime was a horrible call video cleanly shows it.

I thought the replay showed it well....looked to me like she hit her arm as she was shooting.

 

I can't seem to figure out how to attach the clip. From the side angle, which is where I believe the official that made the call was standing, I can understand why the whistle was blown. The camera shot behind the shooter, which is the shot I base my statement on, looked like a clean block.

Whether it was a bad call or not, the reaction of the coach deserved multiple Ts by any definition of the rule.

 

And then they interrupted the kid shooting after the second free throw when it was obvious she was getting 3 free throws.

I don’t know if people are more upset over the foul call or the Upperman coach going ballistic and not getting a technical. If I had to make any argument it wouldn’t be over the foul called it would be over the coach going bananas and not getting hit with the T.

I thought the side view of the shot shows the shooter's arm being hit.  This is not how a state final game should be called.  There got to be better refs than these three.

The bald headed one with glasses that did the Westview/Macon Co game was awful. He had two inadvertent whistles during the game and literally made a call that was something different from the other two officials six times in the game and somehow overpowered their calls. He was the worse I have seen all year. 

There was also a shorter woman ref with dark hair that was unsure about every call she made. She seemed like she was a nervous wreck and blew her whistle and had to call something since she blew it

The referee I know for a fact that had called the foul tonight which has called all of this ruckus called other games at that the state tournament too. I wonder how she called in those games?

Where are all the upperman fans, talking about how unbeatable and classy your coach and team are?  It will probably be November before any of you post anything on here, so you don't have to try to defend this game. 

They're all out celebrating, what's going on up in Crossvile, lol

There were 2 female officials that I saw work. 1 was a larger blonde haired women who looked like she played for UCONN back in the day. 1 other was a shorter dark haired woman who did an excellent job in the games I watched her work. Very smooth and very good mechanics. I thought she worked the single A final? I do remember the white bald headed ref in previous games had ALOT of whistles in ALL of his games
