Manasquan beats Camden w buzzer beater…but refs reverse call

[Bonefreak]

Off topic but still state basketball info….this Asbury Park charter school that recruits players from all over the state is blowing out opponents in their first year as a team…sounds pretty unfair to teams that have tryouts with kids only from their district.

Just saw it on FOX News they played it and commented you be the Judge.   Not Taking any side of a bad call or not.

WOW!  Fox News!  It’s definitely getting lots of attention!!  You should be able to take a side after looking at these pics of the kid shooting the ball and the clock showing .06 seconds….then 0.0 as ball is in the hoop!!

News 12 NJ is reporting Manasquan Did Win after they went over their videos.

The Refs came together at the time and decided Camden Won.  Now after admitting they were wrong, 

However,  The NJ HS Basket Ball Association ruled once the Refs leave the Floor  ( Court )  the ruling can not be Changed  ( Reversed ) 

But think about it Lives were saved no property was set on fire.

They did not rule on anything. That IS the rule whether the call is correct or not. NJSIAA won't say anything otherwise except quote the National.Federation Rules.

Life lesson.  Life isn't fair.  It's a bad call, but there are rules to the game that every team agreed to and the rules here are clear.  There is no question the call was wrong, there's no question Manasquan got robbed.  But follow the rules and teach/learn the life lesson that life isn't always fair.  The suggestion of a lawsuit is ridiculous.  Given the outcome, the schools and coaches should petition to change the rules for the future so perhaps a bad call can be overturned.

True. Life ain’t fair sometimes!  Camden coach should man up and give the win to the deserving team

That is why there are lawyers and courts,  setting the groundwork for Change begins with lawsuits.  

Where is sportsmanship, taking a loss for a win there is no pride in that,   Many bad calls have been overturned in other sports but add a Ball, and that changes, 

Enter the instant replay - they had it all on Video

I thought about that, but it's also not part of the rules or an option that I know of.  It would be commendable however, and if given the choice, I feel like as a coach I would want to give the win to the actual winner.  I would imagine the Camden coach and team don't really feel like they won it and probably have mixed feelings about continuing in the playoffs.

Huh?  The only way change happens is by threatening legal action?  You know that isn't true.

The rules are clear in this game, whether it's a good call or bad call doesn't change the rules. Bad calls happen in sports just as bad things happen in life.  It's a life lesson to be learned and probably far more important/valuable than the game itself.

No video replay in NFHS sports

Blown calls happen all the time in High School sports. This is nothing new only difference is the news picked it up.

I think this got carried way out of hand. Have y’all never been to any HS sports?? HS sports is littered with terrible officiating. Sorry to those of you that officiate, it’s tough, I know a few.

1. They are not pros out there making calls  

2. There is no video replay, no one upstairs to confirm your calls. You need to use your best judgement on what evidence you do have. If you weren’t looking at the release AND the clock at the same time, there’s no chance to make the right call, you’re taking your best educated guess (potentially). 
 

We have come to expect perfection in the sense of play calling at all levels these days. We’ve become accustomed to it with the advancements in technology. It sucks, and they were robbed of a win. I guarantee that won’t be the last time that happens to them in their lives. That’s life. Maybe some changes could be made in the future, but I doubt it.
