Oak Hill probably did shoot more free throws. Coal Grove was intentionally fouling the last 90 seconds of regulation and putting them on the line to keep it close. Outside of that it was very lopsided.
As for the rose colored glasses comment above. I would encourage anyone that wasn’t there to get yourself a copy of this game film and make your own opinions and don’t listen to ours. Fans come across biased and I get that. I am confident anyone that watches this will be blown away with just how bad it was.
You all are making an assumption that Oak Hill’s loss impacts me, it does not impact me in any way. My children don’t play in any high school sport, nor am I from either of these schools.
I stated that CG earned the win in the 4Q and OT, OT was called completely square.
But any person who has ever played, coached, officiated and watched 1,000+ basketball games has earned the right to state a fact.
Before you so quickly reference me as a crier, grab the game film and look through unbiased glasses of your own. The “outcome” may not have been different, but the influence on the game was obvious. Any true basketball fan fully understands officiating influences, the rest of you who cannot handle unbiased opinions can continue to troll along as Grade schoolers.
∆∆ would like to see a film of game..sounds like it was a good one…was only stating what you commented about that fans can be biased. Obviously everyone has differing opinions on some things. I believe both teams are very good & will make deep runs in there respective divisions of the tournament
Of course, only a Pirate fan continues to bash Oak Hill. I try to go to surrounding school games when I have the weekend off. I chose this game because I felt it would be two great teams battling for the win and that’s what it was. As for the officiating, I would have to agree with most comments. Not the best that I’ve seen this year. Officials are to remain neutral and call a good game. This seems to be a continuous problem anymore.
Both of these teams should do well in tournaments.
Any opinion on the no call where the OH player was over and back by at least two feet when they were down 2 with about 20 seconds left? I’m sure that’s on film. Apparently Norm doesn’t like losing to Coal Grove. He’s probably 45-1 against them now, I would guess. Oh and the finger in the chest after the game, I have it on video. It happenened!
… interesting that I’m reading all of “this and that” about the game that Coal Grove won in overtime , at home over Oak Hill BUT nothing has been said about that fact that Brett Long did not see the floor ! when you go against a quality team as Coal Grove IS, ANY team needs to have its’ full arsenal of 5 starters … Brett Long is a MAJOR piece on the Oak Hill TEAM … I’m surprised that it went into OT without Long playing for OHHS tonight … yes HE IS THAT IMPORTANT to the success of the Oaks … a heck of a basketball player … hopefully Brett can get back in the lineup sooner than later for Oak Hill .
Hey Anythinggoes, we did get A player back from Symmes Valley. He has went to Coal Grove through elementary and left his Junior year to go to Symmes Valley. So, he just came back to his home school. I coached him at Coal Grove as a Freshman and He started for our varsity as a sophomore. Nice try bro!
Hate to say I told youvso ,but ,I told you so ,regular season weak league playing chest thumpers. You can’t even beat the ovc number three team ,Norm would need a diaper change if he tangled with their number 1 . THUMP ON -!!
Norm with the finger in the chest is norm being norm ,everyone knows the real norm by now ,things he can just push people around and can’t take a loss like a man.
I’ve heard excuses from refs. Best us,we had players out and the popcorn was stale,the hornets had two cheerleader out sick so its even.
Take the loss,own up to it and move the hell on,you got beat by a better team and your boy got out coached.
You are correct, it was definitely a backcourt violation by about a foot, I do have on film.
And the following 5-second call was about 3 seconds, rightfully so, the official corrected his miss. Difficult to catch every call at that point in a game, it was fast paced.
There are good officials and bad officials. Everyone has had both at different times..Dont think for a minute that Norm hasn’t had calls that went in his favor at home Manny many times has had other coaches down through the years..get over it. The kids play the game the kids win it or lose it. I know for a fact Mike Hughes years ago paid officials way more than the average pay was. I wonder why that was..people think Norm is God.He isn’t but he is a good coach. He has many wins and he knows who yo schedule and he’s also a very good recruiter.CG won in a hard fought game. It could have gone either way. Give credit where credit is due
How many trips to the state has norm made in his career,how many people district, regional etc.?
He hated s had some of the best talent in the area for sure ,what has he done with it in his career that makes him a GREAT coach?
Norm schedule weak opponents on the out of league schedule that he knows he can win,coal grove back fired, the hornets have a great team and coach .
Regular season weak league playing ,CHEST THUMPERS.
Bring the crying towel out of the closet ,you need it.
