ReadyToPlay wrote:Should be an intense game between Grafton and Thompson tonight at the Betty. Grafton defeated them about 10 days ago with single digits in Grafton and Thompson was a bit off in shooting although could have been Grafton's defense. Thompson is very quick and Grafton has size. Should go down to wire and will all depend on fouls I think?

Thompson was up by 6 with 1 minute to play. Ball was at Thompson's end, two people went for the ball and the refs called an intentional foul on Thompson. Neither radio announcer could understand how the call was made, and given the situation, certainly no reason for Thompson to be intentionally fouling. Grafton made both free throws and a basket on the ensuing possession.
At the end, Thompson had fouls to give and the announcers said they were trying to foul, but the refs let everything go, and Grafton ends up with a basket with 2 seconds left.
Now, based on the Thompson-Hillsboro game with the disputed ending, I'd want to see it for myself, but I don't think the Mayville announcers had any reason to be biased towards Thompson.

The part of this in bold is a load of you know what. First of all there wasn't two kids going for the ball. Thompson player tried to prevent a wide open lay-up on the other end when Grafton had clear possession. What does every coach tell players when you foul, "you have to go for the ball." It is clearly stated in the rules if you aren't making an attempt to go for the ball and instead are intentionally fouling to prevent play or an action it is an intentional foul. It came at a time in the game fans didn't like but it was definitely the correct call. If you don't go for the ball you get the call. It was a tough call to make but the correct one. You can debate if the rule should have been enforced but it was definitely a violation of the rule.
