What does the level of play have to do with competent referees? I always assumed that good refs could make the right calls officiating at CYO games or Girls games or Class AA, A or B games. One would think that the slower the game the easier it would be to see the action?......I see some very good refs and some very bad refs when watching HS games locally..I would guess that the coaches have a good idea who is good and who is not….I’m certain the refs know among themselves who they want to work with.

i dont really think you can credit difference in the playing ability levels of mtv/wp and mam/scars as the reason for the fouls being complained about… the reason that fouls seemed to have a been a non issue in the mt vernon game was because mt vernon was up by so much that close foul calls werent a factor
yea, sure, mt vernon and whiteplains are probably better than scarsdale and mamaroneck, but does that mean they dont commit fouls?? come on.

Been around: Wouldnt MSG insert commercial messages in the TV timeouts? thats how they pay the bills. I dont think the network is spending time, money, and effort to make the broadcast seem “real”, whatever that means.

During the TV time outs, the MSG staff is on the court doing quick interviews and giving game synopsis and updates in a live atmosphere to make the final broadcast seem as real as possible.

Please someone with TV knowledge explain to me this. If the game is being taped for a later broadcast, why the need for tv timeouts, can’t MSG just edit the tape? It has nothing to do with anything just thought I would ask

Pok vs. Peekskill II on monday… I think Peekskill wins again. However, it is difficult to beat a team twice in a season, especially the Pioneers…

THE MOUNT VERNON KNIGHTS ARE A T E A M! A TEAM THAT PLAYS TOGETHER USUALLY WINS TOGETHER. IF THIS TEAMS CONTINUES TO PLAY UNSELFISHLY THEY WILL BE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT THIS YEARS TEAM IS STILL BEING TWEAKED. TRYING TO GET THE CHEMISTRY JUST RIGHT TAKES A LITTLE TIME AND WHEN IT DOES WATCH OUT BASKETBALL WORLD. THE MOUNT VERNON KNIGHTS ARE COMING!

Statesman,

Poughkeepsie easily handled Beacon last night, 75-51. It was PK’s guards carrying the load: Tay Webb led all scorers with 22 points, while Dayvon Whitaker contributed 14 points (and two dunks). Brandon James did play, but came off the bench in relief of Antonio Williams…

Also, to the surprise of virtually no one, Peekskill beat Hen Hud, 55-31.

If Rashard James isnt going to show up(like yesterday) its all just a mute point. WP vs. New Ro etc. One player cant get it done vs. any good team !

I also agree with the Mayfield, Kilpatrick issue. With MSG TV televising the game, there were long TV timeouts halfway through each quarter.
