Halfway rule - take 2
Hate to be a sore loser, but I can't help but realise something in particular that happened at last night's Sturt vs Forestville mens semi.
When Shepherd was fouled with 3 seconds left and went to the foul line, Forestville called a time out. Shepherd hit his 2nd free throw, and Forestville took the ball in from the baseline.
Now, I was a part of the Southern U/20's Mens team who were famously defeated by a Molitor buzzer beater in the GF. What I don't understand is why - when we hit 2 foul shots to go up 1 after a West time out - were they allowed to advance the ball to the halfway line?
Did they get the rule wrong tonight and Forestville should have received the ball at halfway, or did the West coaching staff con the umpires into giving them the state championship? I demand an explanation... does anyone from BSA read this site? Can they comment?
