For a dunk in warm ups?

For a dunk in warm ups?

Thats what they said. I watched the warm ups. We did have a kid technically dunk i guess. Don't think he touched the rim at all

[Bildo]

Bad deal

[bdubyab60]

I could understand stand if he went in there and broke one down good. But this was really weak, what can u do. They called it

EPC played well and the 2 points for the tech might have made the difference. MT had 9 pt lead late in 3rd but the warriors battled back.Yeah D Sel called many fast whistles all night. Probably too many.

We've had that happen to us as well.  It's a rule that isn't consistently followed...also, is there a rule that says players can't have the hood up on their shirts during warm up? I've seen games where the refs make them put them down and some where they are allowed to remain up.

So did EPC play especially better than they have been or did MT not play as well?

Unlike the other games we kept our cool. Neither team played extremely well. We slowed the game down and it worked for the most part. We played really good defense all night. What actually won the game was MT pressing for a short period. When they went to pressing and trapping it caused several turnovers that they scored on.

Game was pretty much a defensive game

All depends on the ref I guess. I've seen them stop games for a shirt coming untucked.

I thought EPC played better than MT. Just more depth and Booker coming off the bench provided a spark for MT. Dont be surprised if they play game 5 for the district championship. EPC record is a little misleading. They got 5 good starters if they don't get in foul trouble and as BDub said keep there cool.

That 2pts may have made a little difference but had #1 for EPC took the layup at then end instead of missing a weak dunk and then made the free throws they would have been up by 1.

[THE WHOLE TRUTH]

You have to understand a rule is a rule that's call discipline. You should never put yourself in a position like that and besides that was at the very beginning of the game I am sure we can come up with some excuses as to why we only WON by 4 get over it. That's the 4th time we have beaten you guys this year that's not a fluke.

I haven't seen anyone call it a fluke. What if's are part of this board so welcome to fearlessfriday.

I think everyone understands a rule is a rule. But some rules are not fairly applied. I'm sure you MT fans would be a miffed if they had called this on your team. Which they could have as I saw at least twice the equivalent of what our player did. Which is drop the ball through the goal.

It got called. I haven't really seen anyone saying MT didn't earn a win. Just disappointed that we cost ourselves a better chance at beating them.

A couple of plays here or there made the difference in the game and we are just stating a few plays.

[MomaLion]

Our home refs will stop the game every time a shirt is untucked lol...they will also make the girls remove the little silver and gold things they wear in their hair that's a part of the hair...and even if you are wearing a sleeveless undershirt, it has to be the uniform color because it can peek through.

Girls final in OT...Clarendon finished the last 2 mins in regulation and the OT with only 4 girls on the court due to foul trouble...excellent game.

[1995fan]

This rule is not new. They have been calling techs for this for several years now.  Coaches have to teach their players to be smarter and players should know better at this point.  Since they already loss to these guys 3 other times, why in the heck would you give away 2 points.  Sounds like EPC  had home court advantage and blew it.

[1995fan]

Marked Tree 42 EPC 38 final. We had a technical to start the game. Cost us two from the line and possession, which they scored on

Do you think it would have made a difference?  According to the match up on maxpreps M.T.  has already beaten E.P.C.  3 times this year.  Looks like a slow game.

So let me do this one more time. I'm just stating facts. I know it's the darn rule. But if you had seen it you probably wouldn't have called it a dunk. Didn't touch the rim or anything. The kid jumped up and dropped the ball in the goal. It got called, doesn't mean I can't complain about it. It also means I know it cost us two points and possibly possession to start the game. I also know it's stupid to spot a good team points before the game even tips.

Them beating us three times has absolutely jack squat to do with the game last night. 2 points is absolutely huge. You can't give a team points. Yes it absolutely could have made a difference. Especially when you are only down two and you probably could have been tied or had the lead. And the pressure is on the other team when you have the lead.

Yes it was a slow game. We actually had a good game plan by slowing the game down. MT can play either game but they seem to prefer to play faster at least offensively. So we were patient against their zone in the first half.

There was one stretch that IMO cause is the game more than any one play. That was the stretch where MT pressed and it took us several trips to adjust. Think MT built the lead to 11 or so. We cut it back to 2 (remember our stupid tech, could have been tied and being tied is better than being down) when that MB mentioned happened. Kid lays it in and we are at least tied again.

It came down to MT made plays at the end and we didn't.

But yeah I'll complain about a red calling a weak tech just like the rest of you would if it had been called on your team

[Bildo]

Since we are stating opinions... IMO, you can't say a two point technical and the possession at the beginning of the game cost you the game. 1) You may have lost the tip anyway and 2) How many fouls were (or were not) called throughout the game, how many easy shots were missed by both teams and how many free throws were missed? It's easy to point the finger when you lose but man up and say "Hey... we got beat. Maybe we'll get another shot at them" ... instead of blaming it on someone else. As a former playermyself...you don't want someone making excuses for you.

My point is... if MT would've gotten the tip and scored, EPC doesn't score on the ensuing possession, it's the same difference. Just sayin

Indont think anywhere in the statement or other that I didn't say we didn't get beat. All I'm saying is and have been trying to say is you can't spot teams points before the game starts. But everyone would complain about the tech that was called to start the game if it happened like it did to your team.

I've also said in my posts that the game came down to a few plays and they made them. We didn't. You have to make them in a tight game like that to beat a good team.

Yeah I'm griping a little but aren't fans allowed too.

I've also don't think I've blames the refs one time. Just think that was a weak call on the tech. Kid sure didn't get his money's worth out of that dunk.

Read the statements and comprehend them folks and I clearly state why MT beat us at least twice. And that was like a two minute stretch 3rd and another in the 4th where THEY, being Marked Tree forced several turnovers to build a decent lead and get out of there with the victory.

Last post on this. More games to be played and different plays to complain about.

I'll make this my last post on this one too..... Looking at the numbers, MT shooting percentage was almost 30 % lower than the first match up, and about 20% lower than the last match up.  This was the game to beat them.   Another thing to express to EPC,  teams should never put the game in the refs hands. The game starts during warmups.  I hope that was a sophomore who made that mistake and this can be a teachable moment  but if it was a senior..... smh!!!

Good luck to both teams as they finish regular season and get ready for playoffs.

[bdubyab60]

Both teams played really good defense in the game. Wasn't many easy shots by either team

I understood what you were saying...some of us can comprehend 

[Bildo]

He's just saying two different things... he wants to say that the tech didn't make a difference but brings up ALL of the reasons why it had an outcome on the game. If you "really believe" that it didn't play a part, don't put it out here like it did.

[birddawg1986]

EPC has a good starting 5.. They have 13-8 record with 4 of those loses to MT and the rest to Earle, Stuggart, Marion, Marmaduke. Besides the bad loss to Marmaduke this is a quality team and has a chance to make some noise come tournament time. I'm pretty sure there will be a game 5 for the district championship at EPC in a couple weeks.

[BigLion10]

Stuttgart smh lol

[birddawg1986]

Stuttgart smh lol

Looks Like Stuggart is pretty solid this year 17-1 ranked #4 in class 4A🤔

[BigLion10]

They are legit this year for sure, may a make a run at the 4A title

Wow judging by the score I'm guessing Manila didn't show up??

[leaderofthepack10]

Incorrect. BIC played really well defensively and limited them on 3's. BIC was up 36-22 at half.

[baller334]

I'd have to have seen it to believe Manila didn't play bad. Your talking about one of the top teams in 3A and 4A against one of the worse teams in 2A!! I mean has BIC even won a conference game this year??

[Bomberman]

Come on Bomber.... you can't just drop that "bomb" without letting us know a lil more. Inquiring minds want to know lol

I really don't want to post more without facts. Hopefully some Cotter or Salem folks will spread some of their insight on it. I did watch a video of the end of the ordeal but I haven't seen a video of what happened before that.

WHAT??? Come on and spill the beans lol!!
Girls or Boys coach??

[underdog678]

I watched the whole Salem/Cotter boys game deal and it was ugly. The game got ugly at the third quarter and there was no control from administration. Multiple incidents happened and at 2 minutes left they called the game off. I do not want to comment on coach because I do not want to influence people's opinion about the ordeal or say something wrong about it.
