Message: [QUOTE="Geew1992, post: 2022205, member: 6484"] My daughter's team lost a game by 1 point earlier in the season to the same team by the same amount last year. Both games, her coach got T'd up. Both in the 3rd quarter. Should he have? Who knows? Did that decide the game? Looking at the scoreboard, those T's cost them the games. But so did the missed free throws and 30 turnovers. I am the first to say refs make horrible calls, but do they necessarily cost teams games. I'm not too sure about that. I do know parents can be relentless. My daughter's team beat a team last Thursday by 1 point. The parents fomr the team were jawing from start to finish. If they weren't "coaching", they were complaining to the refs about everything. My daughter drew a fifth foul on one of the other team's player with about 2-3 minutes left. Her father was on the refs from that moment on. He was saying "They just decided the game", had his phone saying "look here's the play". The ref warned him to be quiet or he would be out. Then with about 1 minute left, and the other team had the lead, my daughter got the rebound put back to tie it up. The parents again were on the refs that the shot clock went back to 30, but it never hit the rim. (I wasn't paying any attention to the shot clock). After the game was over, one of the parents went to the scorers table and got in their faces. This is D3 and students are at the table. He was escorted out by an officer. The officer came back in to make sure there wasn't anymore trouble. Refs are human just like we are. And I can bet they miss multiple calls for both teams. Like someone said, don't put the refs in that position. [/QUOTE]
