Berryman contested a shot on the 4th foul. He went up with another player and tried to tip the ball away - WHILE BOTH were in the air - not over the back (which is not an official basketball violation anyway it is classified as a push). The Engineers didn't try to foul except for the last 1:25 or so and that resulted in about 6 FT's. If you want misleading then why don't you consider the discrepancies in the aggressiveness of the defense that both teams were allowed on their defensive end. Like always, Powell was allowed to push and control the offensive player with their hands and chest while Estill defenders were called for fouls when doing considerably less. I am not taking anything away from the efforts of the Powell players. I am pointing out that two sets of rules exist between Estill and the rest of the 14th. I wish somebody would tell me how many years the Engineers have to be a member of the 14th before they receive their honorary member pin and get to play by the same rules as the charter members. And what the heck is babblerap isn't it that stuff that you wrap dishes with when you move?

uh...that might be bubble wrap...I guess fouls are in eye of the beholder...Powell played a 2-2-1 type zone press, some man, and quite a bit of aggressive 2-3 late in the game. Estill played man-to-man pretty much all the game. I guess it is plausible to argue that Estill Co. has not been in the 14th long enough to get an "honorary member" status; however, "babblerap"
is the back end term from a song by Alan Parson's Project, the whole of which is psychobabblerap. "Babblerap" would be speech which tends to distort in order to confuse. I do not think that the officiating was the reason Estill Co. lost the basketball game. They gave up too many easy baskets and settled for too many outside shots in the second half.
