TOC 2023

I'm wondering if the bigger schools that turned it down were afraid to get beat by a small school...

That's the way the ToC should look!

Are the rankings out, yet?

I was gonna say, that is a LOADED field.  There will be some great games.

Owasso beat dale thoughts

That back court call was awful. But Owasso is very good. Like he said very long and athletic. I just can’t stand bad calls like that at the end of a game. If that doesn’t happen Dale probably wins. But props to Jalen for making those shots at the end. I see them as the champions at the end of the year

it will be owasso vs Edmond north should be great one

I just went back and watched it. That backcourt call was the correct call. 

Rule 4-35-3: The location/status of an airborne player is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor .. so, when the Dale player jumped from the front court, his location was considered to be in the front court. 

 Rule 4-4-4: A ball which touches a player is the same as the ball touching the floor at that player's location/status .. so, when the ball touched that airborne player, it was the same as the ball touching that player in the front court. 

Rule 9-9-1: A plyer shall not be the first to touch the ball (in the backcourt) after it has been in team control in the front court, if neither the player or a teammate last touched the ball in the frontcourt before it went backcourt .. that one is a mouth-full for sure. But, was it in team control in the frontcourt? Yes, as soon as the airborne player w/frontcourt status caught the ball, the ball was in team control in the frontcourt.  Was a Dale player the first to touch the ball in the backcourt after that?  Yes, the Dale player touched the ball in the backcourt as soon as he landed in the backcourt with the ball in his hands. 


I can't speak for the rest of the game, I just and went and found this one play... but in this case, they definitely got it right. 

Yep, this is the future of high school athletics. As coaches, the rich will continue to get richer. As a player, why have pride in the place you grew up when you could just take the high road to manufactured success? Lots of great life lessons are taught through athletics, maybe even more so now with what NOT to do.
