I have witnessed several regional tournament games in which the results were flat out determined by the officials. I used to think it was human error or the official had a vendetta against a coach. However, now I wonder how many of those games have been stolen for financial game for the official. I watched an 11th region final a couple years ago that the winner was determined by a "phantom" foul with 2 seconds to go in the game. It makes one think. I don't think this problem is isolated to eastern Kentucky.

Several years ago a group of high school officials were arrested by the Lexington police for gambling on Sweet 16 games. They actually were running a book and taking bets. The officials were never even suspended by the KHSAA.
