Ok After I read this atricle some of the logic employeed literally made my head hurt. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/news/archive/2005/01/13/sports2105EST0461.DTL Yes a regular high school. This would be understandable if it were basketball for the blind and armless. (if you are blind and armless sorry if I offended, but also if you are blind and armless how are you reading this?) Smith is the coach of the losing team (Milton) Quote: Smith said the slowdown was implemented because BFA (7-4) has a strong scoring presence, while Milton (2-8) does not. The Milton players believed their best chance to be competitive was to just hold onto the ball. The strategy almost worked. Reread that last line? It almost worked? Why because they lost by ONE basket? Isnt that like saying, if they other teams scores once, just sit on the ball and scratch your private until the game is over, then we will have only lost by ONE basket!!!!!!!!! Logic this stupid seriously keeps me up at night. _______________ Silent Bob (Kevin Smith): You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you. -Steve (Obi) |

What the hell? my high school instituted the shot clock...  Besides, if there is no shot clock, like Cuzza said, a person could effectively just hold the ball for 20 minutes. _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |

I know for sure the losing team didnt, cause later in the 2nd quater they took a shot to "tie it up" and it was close. So yeah for all of those who don't know, there is NO shot clock in high school basketball, which is how you get away with something like this. _______________ Silent Bob (Kevin Smith): You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude.

Actually the sitting on the ball isn't too bad of a thing. Kind of humorous to watch at least the one time I saw it my senior year in high school. Our team was winning in the first half up by several points. The other team played zone and weren't making any move for the ball untill it got into the "zone" region they cover. So the coach had one of our players just hold the ball for the majority of the second quarter. Since there was no pressure there was no shot clock. Our fans enjoyed it and had a good laugh during it. The score wasn't that low though. And I'm curious did these teams end up with 100% shooting accuracy for that game? _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

LOL... hold on to the ball. Did someone shoot the shot clock? God, for someone to prolong a game for 40 minutes, and the final score 5-2... Priceless. I can just see the VP announcing it the next morning: "In other news, our very own team defeated Milton 5-2. It was a tight game, but our boys pulled it off in the end."  _______________ "To become a greater man, you must be a lesser one first." |
