I'll disagree with you adidas on that. Father and son are respectable people. The father is protective of his son, rightfully so all parents are. There is a time and place for all that, just thinking that tonight wasn't the best place to display that. Honestly some parents don't care what their children do, I had a good friend that had parents like that and needless to say he is no longer with us, God bless his soul. I would rather have an overprotective parent any day of the week. Sure both are short tempermented people, but to say they are complete embarrassments is an OVERSTATEMENT. Bundy plays hard, and I will give him props on that. And about May, there is a difference between being a physical player and a dirty player. I can't begin to count the times I seen him run into someone while driving the lane with no legit intentions on making the shot, or seeing him throw elbows for a loose ball when he is standing several feet away from it. Or when he makes a pass and a defender is still on him, popping them in the mouth with an elbow, that definately isn't clean and sure isn't sportsmanlike. I think that if he played hard, and not dirty he would be hands down the best player in the 15th, but the little things that he does that are uncalled for and not acting like a class act athlete like I know he can is what shuns people away from respecting his talent. He's a Senior, and he needs to be the leader and act like it not only by his talent but also by his actions and getting the team to follow. I was on the stage when Pugh ran into 15 he hit him with his left shoulder, but the right arm was going towards the ball, clean play and I don't mind that. Sure Coach Runyon gave May a hug after the game, who can't respect what that boy has done for the SC program, but after the way he handled himself during the course of the game, some of that respect that he has gained for him has bound to have been lost.

I must say out of all the years Brandon has played I have never heard anyone call him a dirty player, but I have been told myself on several occasions what a great kid and class act he is by the opposing coaches. Goes through the lane with no intentions of making the shot are you kidding me? Williams popped Hensley w/ an elbow after the play was over tried to shove him through the wall, Bundy took 2 hands and slung May to the floor. Maybe you just have tunnel vision, I don't know. The game was physical on both ends nothing wrong with that. May hit Bundy w/ a forearm trying to protect the ball, Bundy surprised him and May threw his arm up to protect the ball it should have been a foul but thats not dirty. He laid a hard moving screen on Pugh that should have been a foul but that was definately not any different than what Pugh did to Lomeli and Pugh wasn't going for the ball give me a break. Does that make Pugh a dirty player? I don't think so and neither is May.
