Bottom line, if the referees had called the first flagrant foul in the first quarter. The same player committed both of the fouls, this game would not have gotten out of hand. It is a flagrant foul when no attempt is made on the ball.

[Gold River]

If people wanna blame the ref why don’t they all send and email or get in contact with khsaa. You may notice the officials are running thin in the 15th there’s a reason for that.

Cards hang in to get a hard earned win at Paintsville to win the 57th district tourney. Paintsville has to be the worst venue to play. Every single year like clockwork drama erupts.

The drama was with adults, not the players. Grown ass man trying to get on the floor to fight a 15 year old kid. Assistant coach cussing out the opposing head coach, dropping F-bombs so loud everyone in the gym could hear it. Same assistant coach telling an opposing player that he would beat his ass and his coaches ass. Wait a second, that was a Martin County fan trying to get on the floor and had to be restrained by 3-4 people and the cops. And wait, that was a Martin County assistant screaming “Eff You” across the gym at Slone and telling Fugate he’d whoop his ass and Slone’s lol. You were right though, definitely some drama.

Sorry I cant resist!! Why was Martin Co asst. Screaming at them that they were tiny Christmas workers with pointed ears who are wizzes with small hammers? I sont understand that one!

Lol no clue about any of that. Maybe they told him he had a small hammer lmao.  The issue with Paintsville is this. The man who I believe was the kids father who got knocked nearly unconscious due to 2 hits above the head was escorted out immediately by several police. Immediately after a former Paintsville player walks courtside into Martin co section actively trying to start a fight and had to be restrained. That person was allowed to remain in the gym the remainder of the game. Enforcement at Paintsville is always skewed. Just before the assistant from mc raised up and said whatever he said, coach slone in conjunction with 2 women from behind mc bench walked towards him pointing fingers and screaming towards him.  Where was the police presence??  Martin co won the game yet the police were making mc fans stay in the bleachers?  Ever heard of sore winners???  Paintsville fans were the ones pissed off yet not a single security presence on that side of the gym and Martin co was treated like criminals.  That’s the point to all of this.  The rules apply to thee, not to me…Paintsville has been like this for years and everyone outside of Paintsville knows it. It’s talked about everywhere. Just like refusing a game ball to the girls champions, it’s all sour grapes over there. If I were a Paintsville alumni I’d be ashamed to hear that we hosted a tourney and refused to hand out the game ball to the coach of the winning team. Especially the most legendary women’s coach in 57th district history.  It’s shameful and an embarrassment to paintsville.  I hate losing but I’d hate even more to be a sore loser.

That’s crazy! I’d have to say if my son took two unprovoked intentional hits to the head I’d be having a heart to heart with the coach because teenage kids don’t do that type stuff without either being told to do so by a coach or discipline is so bad they know nothing will be done or it’s expected.

---

I have zero problems with hard nosed fouls and even if two players go at due to emotions running high it’s sports that happens but to take shots at a kids head unprovoked again a serious problem for somebody very soon.
Let me add though I haven’t saw the play just saying if I’m fact 2 head shots unprovoked to my kid or actually any kid I’m coaching and me and someone is gonna throw down. Most likely verbal on the court then physical in the right place. May beat the brakes off me but would have it to do.

[devils88]

The atmosphere during the entire 57th district tournament was amazing however Paintsville should never be allowed to host another tournament there. Not that the administrators didn’t try to keep everything calm but not having separate bleachers for home and away fans is just asking for trouble. 

The refs should have to take some kind of extra training. They lost control of the game from the start an never tried to gain it back. May be the worst officiated game I have seen in many years and as a whole the 15th region refs have gotten worse and worse. One of the main reason I would guess as why we don’t have any good officials would be because of them having to deal coaches and fans. 

Also after rewatching I can see giving a technical to Martin Counties coach in if they were gonna give Paintsville’s coach one to try an calm the game down but the only reason as why Paintsville coach didn’t get a technical had to be because the refs wanted paintsville to win.

There were actually 4 of em that had to be restrained. The dad just happened to be the only one get escorted out. That’s the beauty of social media, too many people bragging about it and admitting it lol.

As far as the former Paintsville player, that happened after the game, after the ordeal at the handshake line and after the Paintsville team was took to the locker room when Martin County fans, adults sadly, were taunting the Paintsville players as they walked off the floor. Again, adults are the problem 90% of the time, not the kids. 

Are you really still crying about a game ball?

The kid got punched in the head twice. No wonder his parents and coaches were mad. The video is easily found on social media.

Who got punched? I don’t see any punches thrown from anyone. I see a kid getting shoved, which should have been a flagrant foul. I see another kid come running in, tries to slow down, sticks out his right arm to try and protect himself but he’s not quite strong enough to stop the momentum that is coming at him.

I’ve missed a lot over the past few years, when did one of the smallest schools in the state become so hated ?

Idk when everyone else started hating Paintsville, but I’m pretty sure Martin County/Sheldon Clark has always hated us. I know 3 of the Top 5 dirtiest players I ever played again were from Sheldon Clark.

It was during they early to mid 1990s when they recruited teams together to win and acted like they were better than everyone else in the mountains.

No one has questioned #5. I’ve said it more than once on here that he should have got a flagrant foul. 

Explain all of this recruiting. Then name me one team that hasn’t benefited from a transfer or two.

Okay, we agree on the flagrant foul. 

I don't think it's any secret that Paintsville was loaded up in the 90s and not all of those players were Paintsville natives. It was the attitudes more than the winning though.
