How about start with the accused. Then, if they pass, move on to the accusers.
It just made me chuckle because that one idiotic poster (the guy that would always stop posting if Iowa beat Nebraska every year) used to always suggest lie detector tests for everything.
Yeah, try that with millions of rape victims across the country. Try that with every black person that has been treated like shit because of their color. I'm sure it will go well for you.
And then tonight I lost my mind on officials but did everything I could to throw my rage fest on the sideline to myself. No clue who jump balls were supposed to go to. Let the other team inbounds off a dead ball without having the official touch the ball. Literally inbounded off the wall once. No consistency on travels or fouls. My girl got tackled out of bounds and was called for a travel. I thought we were in great position on one where our girl was sliding and and their girl ran out of room collapsing to the floor with the ball in her hands. Foul on us? No, I wouldn't have been happy but that was reasonable. Travel? No. Charge? Shouldn't have been but made more sense than it being out of bounds off of us... which was the call. The incompetence was at an all time high tonight. Litetally the worst ever.
Still. I told my players to calm the eff down. Thank goodness the game was not in jeopardy at the end.
I saw a game in which a ball went over the backboard, hit the support then was rebounded and the put back was allowed to stand. Later, a kid shooting a technical FT was allowed to walk, with the ball in hand, over to his coach then back...FT counted. Also, after a kid fouled the shooter (they actually called the foul on the defensive player, told the scorer and everything) they put a player on defense on the line, even after the scorer tried to correct them.
That game had 9 players between to two team foul out, a player and coach from each team ejected for "arguing" with the refs, and members of the crowd ejected. I've never seen officials less able to call and control a game.
Haha, that would have been worse. I really only argued the big ones and the rest I just pissed and moaned on the bench. I was already trying to keep my team calm after horrendous calls.
Oh, and the same 3 officials worked the game a week later where Jamie Pollard was infamously ejected as a fan. A friend of mine's son played for the team playing Gilbert (they had played us the aforementioned game). He said "Oh, it was way worse than when we played you." He said they could have picked 3 random people and done a better job.
