It doesn’t matter if it was a bad call or not. Dana still put her hands on an official which should’ve been a technical foul. Can’t change the rules and not call it. Carter would’ve went to the line and made at least one to win the game. 

You also can’t change the rules and call a foul on a player that never touched the person.

Foul calls are missed and gotten wrong all the time. That was an official who made a bad call. If every coach touched an official when a bad call was made, it would be a full on melee. The first wrong didn’t give McWilliams a right to step outside of the rules. It is universally accepted that you don’t make contact with officials and she made contact with two officials.

I just watched the replay and I don’t believe that Levy made any contact. I believe the referee made the call based on how Levy reacted to the shot anticipating that contact was made and it ended up not being made. However, a coach CANNOT touch an official.

The officials had a bad game from start to finish and it was magnified by the craziness at the end.

Levy reacted just like everyone else.  She thought Upperman won and was screaming for joy! I don’t think you can scream at the person over TSSAA but Macon’s coach sure and he was on the court as well.

UHS won the game and they have the gold ball. The call of the foul (at the end of regulation) was a bad call in my opinion. There were MANY bads calls and no calls in this game. None of them merited a coach leaving the box, traveling to center court and grabbing a referee without that coach being penalized. Defending her actions is a lot like hitting a cop because you were given ticket for something you didn't do!

I’m talking about how she reacted to the attempted three pointer that they said she fouled on, not how she reacted when they thought they had won at the end of regulation.

Macon’s coach left his box as well! She didn’t hit the ref.  The ref she was talking didn’t even get upset with her.  Were you at the game???

You can't justify it, and every time you try to defend her actions, it makes you look more asinine.  Especially when you try to drag a respectable coach down to her level

Again, in my original post, I was talking about her reaction to the shot attempt in which she jumped up and blocked it cleanly. I was saying that the official reacted to the shape of Levy’s body and how she reacted to the attempted shot which is why the foul was called. The referee anticipated contact and blew a whistle that shouldn’t have been blown. To the best of my knowledge, no one has said anything about how Levy reacted in celebration when she first thought they won. The controversy is the foul call and how McWilliams reacted, not the celebration.

I don’t have to drag anyone down. If you were in the gym you saw him on the court and screaming at the head of TSSAA.  

 

Since you love commenting on my posts where was Shutes when the jets beat Haywood.   Did you finally look a euro step layup?  If you think I care for one moment what your opinion is of me you are sadly mistaken! Everyone sees you for what you are, a sore loser!!!
