[Imnottelling]

Like it or not the refs protect Paintsville. I was standing against the wall last night under the MC goal....(on the end next to the doors for those of you who know the layout of that gym) and three Paintsville players went up for a rebound. MC's boys knew they didn't have the ball so they had already started sprinting back the other way. The player who came away with that rebound....dropped the ball out of bounds. I was standing like 6 feet from them looking them in the face. Wendell was standing just to my right with just as a good a view as I had....he called Paintsville ball.

And the guy who stated that Landon walked on that final shot...you were right he did...and he also charged when he lowered his shoulder and plowed between two MC players toward the basket. Speaking of which, how many times do you get to lower your shoulder and plow another player over before it's a foul? I'd like the official rules on that one so I can tell my boys to lower away and not worry about it until they get to that magical number where they will begin calling the charge. If it had been called like it should have been every player wearing a Paintsville jersey would have fouled out.

MC, you played a tough game and I was heartsick at sound of that buzzer. You played with heart and you never gave up so my hats off to you all. Keep your heads up for you have NOTHING to be ashamed of or discouraged by. KUDOS to the whole MC bunch...
