I have heard the stories of NBA players throwing a shot up against the backboard on purpose(at the end of a game) just to rebound it so they can get a Triple Double. I've seen confrontations about that after the game. Guys going into the visitors Lockeroom to get at a guy, who shot a 3 pointer when the game was already decided to achieve some personal goal. You see my point?OuttaNowhereWregget wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 10:28 pm Gotta side with D here. It was no biggie--Belle's 7th. Falls under the category of Loser's Lament. Any kind of whining after a game that was lost is annoying--whether it's about the refs or the players scoring late or whatever--it's a discordant clanging which pretty much no one wants to hear except the losers. Folks don't like BC for different reasons, but this was a real reach of an issue to make about the player, the coach and the school. No one got slashed or sticked or elbowed or kneed. No one got hurt. Just a team ran a play in the closing seconds and scored. Some of the Loyola players were still playing like it mattered so BC decided to try a play. You can see Smith point to North which way to run the play seconds beforehand. The whole thing is much ado about nothing. But it was good for a few chuckles on a not much happening Friday night.
So, if after Belle Smith scored the 20th goal(with 6 secs left in the game) and a Loyola player decided to check her butt to the turf, what would most of you have said about that?
