I have the same complaints about Tyler's game that I did
about Samantha's (see her Game 1 page for a recap of said complaints), but I
have a few extra for his game... first, the refereeing is horrible. Not once did
anyone shoot free throws, despite obvious fouls on shot attempts. Ball out of
bounds. Not just once either, but multiple times. We never could figure out why.
Also, the scoreboard got unplugged during the game and I don't think that the
score was ever right after that... but what they displayed is all we have to go
by, so that is the score reported.
Tyler played a decent game today, especially on defense.
His ball handling skills were good today as well. He scored one layup today on a
nice drive to the basket, but his outside shot was off (perhaps the result of
two early morning games at the Cage?). My one complaint about his team is that
they don't pass the ball much. If you are the kid who rebounds the ball, most of
the time you are the kid who shoots at the opposite end of the court. Especially
this one particular kid, whose mom yells "Shoot it!" at the top of her lungs
every time he touches the ball, even if he is 50 feet from the basket. Very
annoying. We'll know not so sit near her next time... Better luck next time,
boys.
