***Official 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Thread***

JH can only be 6, JV can be 8, but I rarely see them anything but 7.
There is a local school over here that always wants 8 minute JV games. I always insist on 7 minutes and most of the time, they back down and agree, but couple of times per year, they will insist on 8 minute quarters and I have to back down.
 
Is it a dirty play or flagrant foul to hand opponent the ball after a dunk? Serious question.
 
As a former wrestler some of these rules in most team sports always seem pretty soft. I can’t remember how many times some weirdo would slap my hand as hard as possible before the match, just normal.
 
Funny that UVA's performance is proving to be the outlier among these first 4 games. So blatantly obvious they had no business in the tourney.
 
Thanks! That makes it worse that the 8th grade coach just laughed after he left a kid in during the “B” game who fouled out with about a minute and a half left in the first quarter. More than a foul a minute is impressive in a game when they usually let a lot of stuff go.

I fouled out in the first half of an 8th grade game. But, I had to leave at halftime anyway. My coach was a college student and I remember him telling me that I should see if I could foul out before halftime, and to make every foul "count". That was the most fun I think I ever had playing basketball.

I fouled out in first half of JV game . . . my older brother was one of the officials. Of course, I was a little hacking hatchet man at the time (although I didn't think so at the time).
 
At halftime. Seth Davis is talking about grambling v Purdue…..man they are a little more dangerous than FDU…let’s see what they can do…I’m just sayin’….jay wright….it is a tough matchup for them (Purdue), but they spent their non-conference schedule preparing for this by playing teams like grambling because they know they’ll play them in a 1-16 game. Puke!! We beat them by 55. Guess we get punished playing these teams but others it’s like preparing for the tourney.
