Nubblites Intramural Basketball - Ball State Chapter

[Ugly Bastard]

<font size="8">We Won Again!!!!</font>

That's right. The Nubblites won their first tournament game of the year, get used to it, 'cause we're going all the way.

We Won convincingly, 46-26.

Here are the stats:



I'd have to give out a Co-MVP to Trout Sniffer and Rudy for this won. Orgazmo also had a scoring enslaught that none of us knew was possible. He even hit a three right at the buzzer, a three that will haunt our opponents the entire offseason. Our opponents played their last game tonight. Two teams came in, for one team, it would be their last game; <font size="8">NOT US</font>

Wednesday Night, 10:00, Game 2 of the tournament.

Schwing!!!

Maybe my math is off, but it appears to me that 'gaz had 7 points and rudy had 20. Counting up those threes must have gotten ya. I also think they only had 24 points. Like I said, though, I could be wrong.

[Orgazmo]

I only had 5, this much I know. I think the problem comes about when some keeping stats tally a 3-ball as a fgm & 3pm whilst others separate the two. Perhaps not. Either way, 5. Also, I know we won by 20...whatever that means for the score.

Yeah, what Orgazmo said. The Field Goal thingy counts all shots (including threes), and the 3 Point thingy only counts the threes.

It can get a little confusing calculating all that shit up...we need more tonguegina's on the team.

<font size="8">We Lost!!!</font>

I know this is the perenial excuse that is way overused...but trust me when I say: This was some of the shittiest officiating I have ever seen. Would we have won if the officials were perfect? No. We still probably would have lost...but it doesn't help when they help the other team build a 10 point lead right off the bat by calling bullshit fouls and turnovers on us in the first few minutes. Maybe some other players would like to share a story while I compile the stats real quick...

Here are the stats:



A few bullshit calls that come to mind looking back on it (others, please add to this list, as I won't remember them all):

*Once, Orgazmo gets the ball underneath, he takes a couple dribbles and goes up to take the shot...he gets absolutely mauled on the shot (which should send him to the line for two shots). Well, the official right by the play blows his whistle, calls a foul, and says "two shots". At the very same time, the official way the fuck over by the three point line blows his whistle, and calls traveling...his call stands up, and they give the other team the ball.

*On one play, Trout Sniffer is guarding a guy under the basket. His opponent goes up for the shot, Trout Sniffer does not touch him at all, when the kid makes the basket, they call a foul-basket counts on Trout.

*Towards the very end of the first half, Rudy is dribbling the ball up the court. There is roughly 5 seconds left in the half. I am standing by the three-point line, my guy goes over to double team Rudy, leaving me wide open, Rudy passes me the ball, I hit the open-three at the buzzer, whistle blows...foul on the kid double teaming Rudy, end of the half, no basket.

*Umm...help clear me up on this one, especially you Shaw. I'm in the lane for one or two seconds before Dotson passes me the ball. I take a dribble or two, go up for a shot, and get fouled. As I get fouled, I hear a whistle blow, I automatically assume I'm going to the line, because I got hacked pretty good. The ref calls "three seconds in the lane on me". My question (mostly to Shaw is): When you are in the lane, and you get the ball, does the three-second clock keep ticking? 'Cause I always thought that once you have the ball, you can stay down there for as long as you please. I went over at halftime and asked the refs this, and both of them said to me very feverishly, "yes, when you are in the lane, and you have the ball, the three second clock keeps ticking". This is all new to me. Apparantly the 15 years I've been watching basketball, not one ref has ever called the correct foul on Shaq or hell...even Robert fucking Parrish (yes, I remember watching him), when they stand in the lane for more than three seconds with the ball.

*Another time, Trout Sniffer is at the top of the key, he makes a move and starts driving to the lane, *tweet*, whistle blows, they call him for "five seconds". I don't even know what the fuck that is. I've heard of "five seconds" if you are just standing there dribbling the ball doing nothing else, but the fact that he was driving the lane...I dunno, maybe I just don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

*There was tons of other miscellaneous shit. Over the back fouls, etc, etc, etc.

Whatever...on the whole, it was a very very fun season. I had a great time, and hope everyone else did too. Our final record was 2-3. Our MVP of the season is, no question, Rudy. The kid's a phenom. Trout Sniffer was incredible too. For anyone who cares, I'd like to apologize for playing like shit in this last game, it was Ugly out there (pun intended).

Thoughts?

On the 3 seconds call...the rule is if you're in there, ball or not, it keeps ticking. I usually don't see it called, b/c they let a lot of shit go in the NBA, and it seems most refs don't call 3 in the key if the player is progessing to the basket (not the correct way, but that's how i see them call it).

[Cocktooth]

Ight here is the thing....its the ref's descrtion wheather or not you were trying to make a move...on bout the 5 sec. and the 3 sec...if you were in the lane recieved that ball and made a move their shouldnt be a call...if you were in the lane for awhile... got the ball and backed in then yes 3 seconds can be called....with the 5 seconds once you make an attept at the basket the 5 sec. is off...all and all its up to the refs and their interpritation of the rule but to call 3 seconds in an intermural game is bull shit..i would have went nuts

Okay cool, that's all I wanted to hear. I guess the thing that peeved me was the timing of the call. They called after I went up for the shot and got fouled. It's like...if you're gonna call it, fucking call it before I take the time to set-up, pick up my dribble, go up for a shot, and get fouled.

Thanks guys.

[Orgazmo]

Don't forget the time that Winslow began driving to the basket, was raped, and lost control of the ball. He then regains control, goes up for the shot and a foul is then called. At the line, he asks the ref why he didn't get the call on his initial drive, and the ref states it is because The Glyde "didn't have control of the ball." Of course, the reason Karl didn't have control of the ball was that he was assaulted. A small argument ensued.

YES! That was funny how he was standing there questioning him instead of shooting the free throw. The Glyde...(who is Karl, Karl is the Glyde, and has been ever since I can remember knowing him...Orgazmo claims it's been since Clyde Drexler retired from the NBA, which most certainly would have been longer than I've known Karl Winslow).

Anyway, the ref he was arguing with was really the only bad ref, IMO. The other one's only flaw was not overruling the dumbass and making the correct call on a few occasions. He was definetly the slave in the relationship.

[Rudy]

There were numerous points in this game where i wanted to just beat the fuck out of the out of the one ref. If you were there you know exactly who i am talking about. He was very inconsistent, calling rediculous fouls on one end and not calling a damn thing when people got hacked on the other. I'm not usually one to get pissed off at the refs, but in this game was kinda hoping i would get my fifth foul so i could dropkick the ball to the other side of the gym.

[Trout Sniffer]

I'm with Rudy on this one. I don't usually bitch about reffing, but they were terrible.

And I'm the one that I got called or 5 seconds. I had barely had the ball for 5 seconds, but right after I got the ball, I took like 2 dribbles and then started to drive. So I'm out beyond the 3 point line, then start dribbling, past the foul line, but somehow I wasn't attacking the basket. Not sure how all that works.

[Pliedes]

Why didn't anyone tell this cunt to fuckoff?

Dirty, where were you during all of this?

[Dirty Harry]

Sitting on the bench...with a slight injury to my left middle toe.

[Pliedes]

Which kept you from yelling obscenities at the ref?

[tonguegina]

Even if I'd have been there, I probably wouldn't have made it past half time. That fucker would have heard what I thought. Unfortunately, I had a meeting, and if I would have skipped out on it for the game, I'd have been fired from the station. I need that shit. Sorry again.

[Cocktooth]

Bump. This entire thread is PURE GOLD! Gotta love history!

[Mr. Mistoffelees]

Why isn't F3lix on the team?

[Dirty Harry]

I am the God of Basketball. Unfortunately, the God of Basketball shows up to 90% of the games stoned and only scores 4 points in the entire season.

[Dirty Harry]

I will never forget how embarrassing our first defeat was and how glorious our first victory was.

[Cocktooth]

I'll never forget how horrible my punctuation was, or how funny it was that F3lix got outed as a B Team All Conference. That's actually why I went searching for this thread yesterday.

[Mr. Mistoffelees]

Can we talk about why f3lix wasn't on the team now?

He is an obvious malcontent. He wanted the spotlight, and wasn't worthy of it.
