    No. 4 was flagrant, and No. 5 was definitely flagrant. You only get 5 fouls, so use them wisely. No easy buckets.

    Connell's in rural Eastern Washington, north of Tri-Cities on 395, at the junction where you turn right and head toward Kahlotus, Washtucna and Wazzu.

    I'm not sure about needing better officials, as fouls were called in every instance. The last one could have been en ejection for deliberate attempt to injure. As someone said, if you don't want to be portrayed as a flagrent-fouling basketball punk on video, don't play like one on the court.

    Reminds me of that video on the New Mexico soccer player several years ago. Hard to feel sorry for her, too, after watching what a dirty player she was.

    Good to see our youth obesity epidemic has reached the HS basketball world: that is the lard-assiest basketball team I've ever seen. Couldn't believe it at the 3:40 mark when they took 34 out and even WIDER fatass came in. No wonder they flagrantly foul, how else is that gelatinous bunch supposed to defend.

    Jay Bilas thinks the team's waistlines have tremendous upside potential.

    Of the six, No. 4 and 5 were by far the worst. 1, 2, 3 and 6 were just hard fouls, especially the two on rebounds over the back.

    Of course back in the days when full-court pressing was legal, it was a snap to run lardbuckets like that off the court. Can't tomahawk anybody if they're sprinting downcourt 70 feet away from you.

    Has the school or coach come out with a statement yet?

    You're something else. If it's politics-related, you're able to turn everything into race-baiting. If it's basketball-related, you're able to turn everything into Larry Brown/Hank Iba style basketball hating.

    Whatever. When you're playing a team of lardass hatchet-men, run their asses off the court.

    Then, when they're bent over gasping for breath, plant a knee right in their groin. How's that grab ya, big boy?
