The thing about the call is this—there is no instant replay calls in high school basketball. While we all have went back and seen that the shot was a 2, the referee made the right call in the moment. Would you want someone to end a team’s season on the question of an inch or less on the floor without being able to replay and zoom? Is the better option to say, this is too close to call so here is an additional four minutes of play to see who comes out the winner?

I think this was the right call. Ultimately, Pikeville couldn’t hang with the pace of Lawerence. As an avid basketball fan, I can say this was not Pikeville’s best game.

If it was a centimeter of the kids toe where you had to zoom in to see I don’t think as many people would be upset but almost his entire foot was on the line. Even the announcers said in real time it was a 2. If you go back and watch it seems the ref wasn’t even looking at it

To be fair he also has to officiate the entire shot, I’m not so sure he didn’t get fouled on the shot causing it to be long and banking in either.    That’s a hard play in transition,   That official has the shot, the clock as he was opposite the table, and the defense to all officiate.  With other feet in the area.  


Tough call for sure to have go against you, but in end pikeville missed a FT to set up attempt instead of being up four, and then had lead under ten seconds again in OT
