Don't have to play dirty because they're very talented, but still do. Also, they are very good at playing to the refs and being perceived as victims of fouls on the court. That being said, enough of the bull about how Mommy's and Daddy's bail out their kids on the Athens team as well as other teams. That's a blanket statement and not every kid has a discipline issue. The whole, "back in my day" crap is exactly that...crap! I played in the 80's and believe me, there were PLENTY of Ts back then, too! Looked to me like the Athens coach is more interested in tearing down the players instead of building them up. His son looked like he would rather be anywhere but there. Felt bad for the young man. You can all get as mad as you want, but I was there sitting front and center on the Logan side, and I'm a neutral party. I have no dog in this fight, just my perspective from what I saw. There was a T called on Butcher last night that was not a T! He was trying to untangle his foot and wasn't even looking at the player on the floor. He was faced the other way. Probably looked bad,but I do not believe this was to hurt the other kid. Here's my take, leadership and all that comes with it starts at the top. Lots of talent on both sides of the court.
Just could not let this go . Honestly I tried so HERE WE GO . First was you on the Visitors side or the Home side ?You have stated both Second I have watched Logan some last year and this year and have never seen dirty play . They are talented and respectful . Your post did not seem like a neutral party by any means . Third Taking a shot at the Athens Coach behind a screen name shows little class . Fourth how are you related to one of the players?
