Hard Fouls and Fair Play

The end of the game between the Heels and the Woofies got ugly. There was no point to it and this type of thing should be stopped. This is twice this year that a Heel has been hacked at the end of a game by a team that is way behind. I don't mind playing hard. I myself played physically but to try and take a player down is uncalled for. The play against KY cost us Tyler Zeller and may cost us a Championship, when all is said and done. The play today just cost me my respect for McCauley (sp) and Lowe. Roy reacted as he should but everyone else seemed to think the woofies were the injured party.

If you don't want the Heels to try and score, hold the ball at the end of the game and run out the clock. If you want to play ball, play and take your medicine. The next time you "Hack a Heel", he may not take it so well.

I have tried to think of a single play when a Heel was called for a flagrant foul. There may be one and I am having selective memory loss but I can't recall any. Basketball should be a game of fluidity, not the hack and hold it has degenerated into. Go Heels, but don't go too hard, Henderthug is out there, just waiting to once again pounce and hack a heel

And he has a bad habit for hacking.
