On Friday night the Franklin Flyer women took on undefeated Sandyhills/Thedford. S/T missed a last second shot and everyone stormed the court because they thought the game was over but there was 0.1 seconds left on the clock. The refs then gave Franklin a technical for having too many players on the floor. S/T made both free throws to go into overtime and eventually won the game. Tough call to make as a ref but technically the correct call. Read the entire aricle from the Kearney Hub and let me know if you think a technical should have been called.

NEVER NEVER NEVER should the officials put thesmselves in a position to decide the game. Clear the court and play it out. I doubt if the winning coach would have raised a stink about losing if the officials had just let them play it out. He would have been happy they had a chance to run a tip play with the .1 seconds. He never even would have thought about a technical needing to be called, nor would he have complained.
Common Sense!! Obviously something happened where the players and fans all thought the game was over. It is not possible for anybody to get a shot off in less than .3 seconds. I am not even sure it is technically correct to make that call. It is so borderline. I do give the Sandhills-Thedford credit for making both free throws. That was a lot of pressure but Franklin should be at the state tournament.
