2014 Pfloyd's Elite 8 of Southern/SouthEast Ohio- Final Edition

[4thgoal]

I agree....it was very frustrating after watching the glass get slapped on 2 CG layups with nothing called.

What did you want called? Slapping the backboard while in an attempt to block a shot is not a violation.

With the ball on the rim you can still slap the glass?? Just wondering!!

Yes, as long as it was an attempt to block the shot.

[THE GOVENOR]

That don't seem right...how could you block a shot with the ball sitting on the rim?? One of them was in the progress of a layup,but the other not so much.

I agree with you, but if the referee feels the player who slaps the backboard did so while attempting to block the shot (even if late), there is no call. The backboard is not considered part of the cylinder....only the rim and net so the backboard is outside of the basket interference rules (even though the backboard is connected to the rim). Maybe a licensed official or coach on here can shed more light on this, but this is how it has been explained to me.

WOW...I didn't know that. Thanks

This is one of the more misunderstood rule in Ohio HS Hoops..

From thee NFHS 2008-2009 Points of Emphasis.....

SLAPPING THE BACKBOARD. The incidents of players slapping the backboard are increasing throughout the country. The rules specify that "intentionally slapping or striking the backboard" is a technical foul (10-3-5). The spirit and intent of that rule is to penalize a player for drawing attention to him/herself or as a means of venting frustration. A player who strikes the backboard in a legitimate attempt to block a try for goal should not be penalized. Basket interference cannot be ruled in either of the above situations. Basket interference only occurs if the ball is interfered with while in the cylinder above the basket ring or by touching either the ball or any part of the basket while the ball is on or within the basket (4-6).

Now, wait a sec ... week #1 at the Convo?

Try 93dog touting the Eastern Lady Eagles back in 2011 when the seniors were freshmen?
Or when you 'Convo junkies' made fun of me last year when I ditched the DII boys semi's to drive to Pickerington to watch Eastern/NC?

Mr. McP was a little late ... kind of like Pfloyd riding 93Dogs curtails with the Elite 8 ... LOL

(BTW ... Mr. McP's son is kind of a 'big wig' up in Columbus now Floyd for the OHSAA ... his seat yesterday was even better than mine ... him and Mr. McP will be good folks to keep on the 'friends list' going forward ... lol)

… the committee of one has convened and decided for the aforementioned (highlighted reason) we will give ALL of the credit to Mr. McP however YOU have touted the Eastern Girls for 4 years as THE team to watch in SEOhio … AND when Mr. McP asked the question as to which team had the best chance to be a state champ YOU said the Reedsville Eastern Girls … I on the other hand only looked at the boys side and had the wrong answer …

[93Bulldog]

I don't want to throw the 'sexist pig' label out their, Floyd ... but it may be warranted ... LOL

Southeast district team ... in the state championship game ... but no Pfloyd? He was M.I.A. at the Schott? I believe Howie said you may have dropped from #2 fan (Trojan Dave being #1 because of his visible antics and unmatched enthusiasm) - to like #5 or something.

… No you didn't …

[93Bulldog]

I'm thinking 93Bulldog MAY MOVE AHEAD of pfloyd in the 'southeasterohiopreps posters Elite 8'

93Dog DOES cover girls basketball, he does CALL their games, he DOES talk about them on the sportsfan on 970WATH ... and of course he DOES support them on the biggest stage ... lol

If only I threw my hat and jumped up and down - I may be able to surpass Trojan Dave!

I think once all the data is collected - and the powers at be find out Floyd skipped out on the girls championship game - he may be hanging out with his alma-mater at the bottom of the list.

[pfloyd]

… 93dog !!!! wake up !!! it "ain't" going to happen !!!a bigger fan than trojandave??? - what are you thinking'??? … LOL … it's ALL about the love of the games, the sport, the kids, the fans, the coaches … the sport and the people is why I do this every year … I BELIEVE there are others like me out there - people who truly love the game & the kids/coaches … there isn't a gym I walk into all season that the atmosphere fails to put a smile on my face … there IS no place I would rather be than in a gym watching hoops … then after the game I HAVE TO tell the people what I saw - the words, the napkin stats , the imo's ALL just an extension of ME and how I feel about this game of hs hoops Below the Lancaster-Dixon Line …

[pfloyd]

… need to wrap up the Pre Season 2014-15 Elite 8 … in the next few days I will post the rankings to start the new season …

[bman]

We need to do some kind of pfloyd Elite 8 tournament at the Convo to start the season, kind of like the preseason NIT. :122245
