Evt/TM Results

[Tussey Mt. fan]

slapstick, were they scared or did they know they screwed up. If the refs can't control the game they shouldn't have been doing the game in the first place. Was it a surprise to anyone that a TM/ Everett game could get out of hand. I wonder who is responsible for hiring those refs. Oh... maybe Koontz.

EHSCheerleader, you're right Everett did win the game by 5. I'm not going to say TM lost the game because of officiating. Momentum had already swung Everetts way. But I do disagree on your comment that both teams played extremely well. I thought both teams played poor. Way too many turnovers from both teams.

I agree Tussey Mt Fan...........The reason Bailey wasn't "T" up was because the ref knew that he made a mistake. Also, on the way both teams played.

SO Koontx and Waltman had to come over to the scorers table and ask Coach bailey to settle down?? WHo were the Refs from Somerset County that did the game?? I have heard of an invertent whistle in Football but never in Basketball. WHat happened in that situation?? Coach Bailey was very complimentary in the paper and could of had some quotes about the whistle situation. That showed alot of class on his part. He was very complimentary towards Everett.

Sounds like someone should have put a tent on that circus!!!

It's always a circus when Tussey plays - unless they're killing their opponents. Rumor has it they even warmed up to circus music one year.

I really can't believe that Bailey lost control though. That's not like him. People tend to exaggerate so much on this board.

noname, With about 3 and 1/2 minutes to go in the game and the score tied, Zimmerman got trapped at half court. I thought he was fouled, I'm sure some others didn't see it that way. But regardless, a whistle blew, loud and clear, everything stopped for a second then Miller came out of the pack with the ball and went in for an uncontested layup. From there it was wild. I was sitting behind the TM bench and could get an idea of what was going on at the scorers table. Things were crazy with noone knowing what to do. Mr. Koontz came over and did, I repeat DID, get involved in the events at the scorers table. After it was over TM was charged with a timeout, Everett credited with the basket and TM bringing the ball in under Everett's basket.

I don't know who the refs were. I never seen them before. I question why in a game of such magnitude there wasn't a 3 man crew.

Noname referred to the article in the paper and Bailey's quotes.

Knowing Bailey as many of us do, I am sure he had plenty to say about the referees and the whistle. Mr. Brode probably had to be creative and choose what all to put in his article. Doubtful he wanted to show his alumnus status from TM knowing the Everett faithful would be reading the take on the game too.
He may have failed the county readership by his version of the events and should keep his daytime job.

sneakers, We were sitting close to each other. Do you agree with my take on the events that happened.
And yes sneakers I do agree with your assessment of the Gazette article. Mr. Brode does a nice job for the Gazette but he may have omitted some classic quotes in this case.

[Sneakers]

Yes, I pretty much agree with you. I did not hear the whistle myself, but I blame that on the crowd noise that was hitting all cylinders about that time.

does Bailey always act like that at games, he was a show within itself.
i'm from everett and it's really fun to watch him(ha ha).
