CatnipOligarchy Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 MILTON, Vt. -- Hard to imagine a 3-pointer in the second quarter of a high school boys' basketball game would turn out to be the winning basket -- unless it's one of only three made in the entire game. That basket, along with an earlier field goal, was all Bellows Free Academy-Fairfax needed to beat Milton on Wednesday night. The final score: 5-2.

threetonesun Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Smith said the slowdown was implemented because BFA (7-4) has a strong scoring presence, while Milton (2-8) does not. The Milton players believed their best chance to be competitive was to just hold onto the ball. To the point where they could only make 2 points!! And why wouldn't the other team intentionally foul at some point?

nomis_nehc Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 what a stupid game strategy. the coach must be a 2 year old. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/271399-vermont-basketball-game-ends-5-2/#findComment-585293816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus22 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I played high school basketball. A 35 second shot-clock should be imposed for all high school games. I hate when old school coaches just tell their players to run out the clock. It's embarrassing.

scsgoal31 Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 I just read this...I don't really understand it. The team with the "high scoring presense" ended up winning 5-2. Why was the other team holding onto the ball? They were losing. Were they just looking for a last second shot to win and missed?

Sqube Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 That's so sad. There was nothing I hated more than when there was about 2 minutes left in the game and the other team started running the clock out. High school needs a shot clock. Badly. This type of travesty should never be allowed to occur.
