Convo Refs on Saturday

[formerfcfan]

Might be a good thing for the kid in the long run. Growth opportunity. It doesn’t matter if he was right or wrong —- he put himself above the team for a few seconds and it Cost the team. The referee is in charge. My coach used to say — “ if you reach then you give the referee an option — he might call a foul on you simply to get you to stop reaching”. If you keep your mouth shut then there’s no problem. You ever notice the really great refs will call a foul early —- like when a player gets a rebound and the defender closest reaches in — a good referee calls that and stops the action. In A junior high Game this runs rampant.

The referees at The Convo in District play are our best. They do a very good job.

My first year coaching varsity I thought we were getting homered. The refs ignored me. When I said something to the AD about paying them — he replied — “ they might have been bad but they were better than that team you put on the floor “. He was right. Shut me up quick.

The refs have less missed calls than turnovers by the teams. They do fine.

LMAO, I liked that!

Sidenote: always enjoy the comment “home team pays the refs!” Of course, they do: that’s who pays the officials to do the game in the first place!

That was 1994.

Bob Huggins told a great story at a Clinic about 20 years ago. He was at UC. Nike clinic. He said his father was who he learned everything from. Great HS coach in Ohio —- he taught him very well. So early in Bob’s career he’s coaching at Small College level and he’s on the road. One referee in particular is favoring the home team ( in Bobs opinion) so he calls timeout. Coming out of the timeout the action proceeds for a little and then The Referee stops the game and approaches Huggins. “Coach — why do you have two of your players guarding me?”

Bob. “ my father always taught me to double team the guy who was killing me and right now You’re killing me!”

Understand you would've liked to seen it called earlier in the game, however without knowing what was said maybe it wasn't warranted at that point. Ref calls it earlier in the game, Piketon hits the free throws we're in the same situation score wise. Nothing can predict that he learns his lesson and doesn't get another T with 20 sec. left to go in the game. Without knowing what was said earlier in the game and later in the game to get the T we can only speculate. I have to error on the side of the ref on this though, no ref is going to want to call that T in that situation unless the coach or player has gone above and beyond the code of conduct that is acceptable in that refs eyes.

Agreed. It’s really hard for me to make that argument without knowing what was said but man that was untimely. The coach was definitely irate and even shoulder checked one of his players on his way to the official.

Lol, well at least I tried

Lol, well at least I tried

That's why you shouldn't make posts that compliment referees. No matter how good they were all day (and they were), people will still be upset about them lol

[CavalierAlum05]

Swingle got thumped on all night in the PV game with no calls. Nothing new though there as it was that way for 4 years. Other than that I didn’t see anything that was bad at all.

Refs done a great job all,day they made no difference in the outcome of none of the games so ,good job

Lol, well to be fair, I thought Issac's behind the back carry was the worst call of the day, so I get it.

I'm not a PV fan, but you are correct. Swingle was fouled every time he touched the ball. It is a crime the way the officials allow kids to beat on him.

Also, during the SE/ Eastern game they let kids travel all over the place.

He might've been. Just seemed to be more content 10-15 feet away for the most part, for whatever reason. That's probably why I (nor the folks around me) didn't really notice it.

I know of 1 that was obviously against the hornets today but he got beat as well . . Hard to play against 6 or 7

I thought they did pretty well overall but you are right, the Swingle kid got beat to death every time he touched the ball near the basket. It's almost like the refs around here treat the bigger kids a little different around here because they already feel they have an edge with their size. IMO that is total BS!!! I don't care how big you are, if you go for a rebound and you get a little shove in the back it will throw off your rhythm just enough to take you out of position.

Far from perfect. Just have no idea what your trying to say.

Just Don't see a 6'11 290 plus guy got beat around by a 6'4 220 guy jmo

Must have stayed after the games and stopped by court street.

If the 6'4" player pulled out a hammer and thumped him over the head but he didn't budge is it a foul? Unfortunately Swingle is so large a lot of the contact does not 'appear' to affect him. But, he has to fight through the contact and not get the call. Fortunately for him he will get these calls at the next level. No complaining on any other games I've seen though. And like I said at first, this is nothing new to Swingle or the Convo its happened his whole career.

I thought all games were called fine, I saw nothing that stood out that would have changed any game either way.

With the district finals coming up I hope we have crews that allow the kids to play. Nothing worse than a big game where whistles are blowing left and right. Is there any way Schwartzel can call each game? In my opinion he's the best in SE Ohio and very, very consistent.
