This is shameful.

This High School basketball team is a disgrace...the coach is a disgrace...the referees are a disgrace...

Basically two fat kids that probably couldn't make it on the football team, so they're releasing their aggression on smaller ballers...

I was going to post this in the NBA thread. I don't think it should be about the 'Dirtiest Player', though, as I'm sure this kind of thing happens pretty regularly at that level. It should be about the 'Most Clueless Refs in the History of Basketball'. The kid shouldn't even have been in the game by the time he commits that last foul.

I missed it; but one of the comments on Rivals.com stated that #34 and the ref exchanged nods or something like that at one point...so it's dirty all-around.

Those moves wouldn't have kept happening if the team was playing a black school/predominately black team. After the first one (and that's IF he would've had the balls to play like that then), they would've been in his face DEEP, and he wouldn't have tried that shit again. But, the team they're playing are just soft ass muthafuckas and allowed that shit without any kind of intimidation.

This is some bullshit!!! His coach talking about he's a great kid and once you get to know him he's a big ole teddy bear... well had that been me that big ole teddy bear would have been sitting courtside with his stuffings hanging out!!!!

1. the cats have ZERO basketball skills.

2. They should have thrown out of the game.

3. The coach should have been warned.

4. If it did not stop, he should have been tossed.

5. These refs just want a $25.00 pay check.

The home team must have been getting their butts whipped in that game.

they played that shit with the right team

with the WRONG team, it woulda looked

like them takin an ass kickin...

Such nastiness....

However, the Detroit Pistons of the 80's played very similar to this style.

Every one of the fouls was called a foul by the refs.

#34 was playing playoff basketball...no layups.

Being a man of skillz, I hated players like that...still do...but you can't deny that

is a part of the game. Every player has 5 fouls, use them all.

Not that I'm proud of it, but where I'm from this sort of thing would have meant at least one stabbing after the game.

they would have waited 'til AFTER THE GAME???

you came from a tame hood...

I was expecting worse to be honest. I used to play street ball that was far worse than this. I would say something else, but I'm not trying to offend anyone here....

I was thinking the same thing. *nod*

Let me break it down:

Foul #1: Not a flagrant foul. A hard foul, but the kid has no real basketball ability. If I coach the team in red, I tell them to take to his fat butt and he'd be fouled out in the 1st period.

Foul #2: Not a flagrant foul. Wrap up fouls like that are extremely common.

Foul #3: Again, the fat kid can't guard a paper bag. But he's not even trying to exhibit a basketball posture. If the first foul came with a warning, this should have been a Technical Foul.

Foul #4: Ejection. That's horse shit and I would have probably have pulled my kids from the court and walked if that happened after a game of having my kids knocked around like that.

Yes I coach youth and high school basketball and you see some very unfortunate situations. It's on me as a coach to teach them the game, and sit them if they can't play it by the rules. They represent themselves, their team, the school, their families, the city, the state, etc. If they don't have the respect for the game, they shouldn't be allowed to play it.

Yeah, take it to #34 (white jersey) and foul him out. Either he'll get 5 fouls or the coach will bench him when he gets to 3 or 4 (depending on how valuable he is to the team). His skills are pretty lacking; terrible defensive stance for starters. I guess he was maybe trying to block the shots for a couple of them, but his timing was way off; instead of going straight up it's like he was trying to spike it.

I be throwing bows in the paint!

I bet the kid was asked to play to fill out the roster, or forced to play by his football coach to get some kind of offseason exercise. His terrible skills are an indicator of a terrible basketball coach. He's not even quick enough to be a good football player.

This looked like a JV game. Had he tried that stuff somewhere else he'd have fouled out, or been taken out.

PS. Christian Laettner will always be the "dirtiest" in my opinion, for stomping on the Timberlake's chest. Duke as a whole is dirty...
