[An Observer]

Been following Pikeville basketball for years and only even recognized one of the varsity refs. In a gym that only has one side it's is difficult to see who sits where, given that Paintsville was at home and had 20 X as many fans and they were actually sitting among the Pikeville people. Also, Paintsville fouled numerous times down the stretch trying to turn the game at the free through line. The other observation on the foul situation was defense played. Paintsville played man to man almost entire game and Pikeville played 1-2-2 zone all but 90 seconds of the game. Paintsville got very little going toward the goal but Pikeville continued to attack the rim. The difference in the fouls shot had everything to do with how the coaches decided to play defense and attack on offense and absolutely nothing to do with refs.
