Don't get me wrong - I am not taking sides with fans - and placing blame on officials.  Both have an equal share in my mind.

 

I am concerned about scoreboard calls however.  I was at the Franklin Centennial tilt last friday night, and the officials were horrible - both ways.

 

What became apparent however, was that as the game was getting one sided on the scoreboard - ticky tack fouls were called on the team on the right side of the score.  The same foul occurring at the other end, and in a few cases near mugging, went uncalled.

 

As the game went on, the officials were calling things  - no one saw!  Both ways.

The game was too fast for these three, and before you knew it 48 fouls were called in the game!  This does not account for the countless travels and lane violations.....

I don't by the whole issue of equal fouls called between two teams either....If one team fouls alot that doesn't mean the other team does....... I hear people all the time talking about........ they had 8 fouls called to our 20 thats not fair........YES IT IS FAIR!........ if your team doesn't know how to play defense and goes out and hacks thier opponents to death you can't blame the officials.

 

I'm confused about the travels and lane violations you are talking about...... are you saying thier were to many called or what.

From an umpire's perspective, I can tell you the two things we want in a game. Strikes and Outs.........for both sides. I imagine most refs want the seconds to tick away as fast as they can. Blowing the whistle only prolongs the game. :lol:

 

Answer this question honestly. Why would a referee hold a grudge against a coach, player or team?

They could have numerous reasons but one i can think of off the top of my head is if they are reffing a game between their alma mater and rival opponent. there can be some bias there, that's only human though! Humans are not perfect and can not see everything from every angle. That's why fans will think a ref's call was wrong, different perspectives.

    • I've caught a few games this year. We have a decent team.   I'm hoping this group can qualify for state.  
    • Pirates baseball team is region 3 champs.  Host sectional Wednesday.   Go Pirates!!
    • I am interested in seeing how much they progress in year two under Fitz myself. I do believe they will improve but how much will be the question.
    • Pirates can make a run at the dance for sure.
    • I've always been a football fan first and then if you have a band that's awesome.No question that DB has one of the best bands in the country and the whole region should attend at least one DB game just to see their band. I don't know if Nick Saban could come to Kingsport and build a football program that could match the Dobyns Bennett band's success.That said,as mentioned before, a couple of things would have to change in order for the Tribe to just win a state championship on the field.Besides a program that starts from the peewee teams and goes all the way to J Fred with all coaches and weight training { in time }on the same page. Sometimes it also takes a little luck like the 1998 Vols .There are a lot of great athletes at a lot of big schools around the state and just because you want something doesn't mean your going to build a program like Alcoa has. Yes,start at the bottom and have guys that are quality coaches teaching at every level is 100% the first step. Parents can make it a lot easier by getting their young athletes into an early start with conditioning and weights as well when they are old enough to lift.If your son is a man in the weight room before he gets to DB , then it won't take a "Dobbs" coach to make him competitive against other schools athletes when it comes to strength.
