Literally one ref made every call. That was the problem. A few hand checks were called, but then it was largely let go. A couple of the traveling calls I didn’t think were traveling. Same guy making every call.
I think Centerville will roll against Fairfield if they can make any shots. Fairfield is more talented than Fairmont, but they don’t execute anywhere near the level Fairmont does.
Officials blew the ending. How do they not grant Fairmont a timeout? There were 2 seconds left. What a clown show of officiating in that game. The bald ref was the worst ref I’ve ever seen.
I think he’s a better player at this point than someone like, say CJ Fleming, who just scored 27 points in a D1 conference title game last night. Overall athletic ability, ball handling, and shooting ability is definitely good enough for D1.
They were 1-13 in the GMC last year. They scheduled this year to get wins. I don’t think they were expecting to be this good. I would look for a couple GCL and GWOC non-conference games next year. Unfortunately, they’re locked into playing Milford again.
I’m confident that will change. There are plenty of players who get late offers in their senior year from the lower D1 schools, particularly after a big tournament. All he’s going to have to do is send coaches this game film.
Fairfield played about a C+ game and won by 9. Wayne has 3 really good players but are horrendous otherwise. The officiating was terrible. Fairfield is in the final 8, where their talent level probably deserves to be.
