Visit me on...Twitter<br><br><span style="">YJDP All-Met Writers</span> <br><span><span><b>McNamara Coach Lee Furious After Ref Costs Team Game</b> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><b> </b> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><b>By Andrew Feather</b> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><b>YJDP All-Met Writer</b> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Women’s Basketball | On Friday night in front of a half full crowd at <a href="http://wiki.allmetsports.com/all-met/schools/prince-georges/mcnamara/girls-basketball/">Bishop McNamara</a> (12-6, 5-5), <a href="http://wiki.allmetsports.com/all-met/schools/washington/carroll-high/girls-basketball/">Archbishop Carroll</a> (11-6, 4-3) defeated the Mustangs 53-52 in a game tainted by numerous controversial calls. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>It all started in the fourth quarter with score two points in McNamara’s favor after a call that eventually allowed Carroll’s <a href="http://wiki.allmetsports.com/all-met/players/washington/carroll-high/girls-basketball/36012/"><span><span>Alliyah Berger</span></span></a> to knock down two free throws to knot the game up at 51. Mustangs’ Coach Gary Lee was obviously displeased with the call and as the referee who made the decision went past him, they exchanged words. The ref then proceeded to T Coach Lee up giving the Lions two more free throws, the eventual deciding points in the game. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>As soon as the game ended, instead of going to the locker room, Lee rushed to his phone and called up the Head of WCAC referees. “First thing he said to me was I’ve never had a problem out of you. All the referees like you,” Lee said. <span>&nbsp;</span>He explained his case to the head ref and said “[The Head] handled it right there.” &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>What caused the furious Coach to make the call was the reason for which he was given the technical foul. Lee claimed “I said ‘Sir, you can’t make that call in the WCAC’ and Bam he hit me with a tech.” He explained further saying “Referee made a bad call on one end so I explained to him ‘Mr. Ref you can’t make that type of call.” &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Lee continued “He comes back down the court as we were talking and I said ‘Sir, listen to me. In this league, in the WCAC, that call you can’t make.’ He said ‘If you say that one more time, I’m gonna tech you.’ I said ‘Sir, listen. I’m not disrespecting you. I never cursed at you, I never said anything to you out of line.’ Then I said ‘If you make a’ and then BAM a tech. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>When asked whether he felt the refs’ officiating, which if called inconsistent would be an understatement, lost his team a win he said, “I think it was horrible, they cost us the game.” He then continued “In my 30 years of coaching you will never have heard me say ‘A referee beat us out of a game.’ This is going to be the first time and I hope and I pray that it’s the last time when I say ‘The referee took this game from my kids, and that’s not fair.” &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Outside of the controversial reffing, the game proved to be a great one. The teams swapped leads numerous times and battled to the end. Among the top contributors to the game were McNamara's <a href="http://wiki.allmetsports.com/all-met/players/prince-georges/mcnamara/girls-basketball/36238/">Jasmine Boyd</a>, who had a double- double of 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Carroll's Berger whose 13 points led the Lions for the night. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br> &nbsp; &nbsp;<br>Whether or not it was the refs that decided the game instead of the athletes, it was obvious that the women from both Carroll and McNamara proved that they were ready to play.</span></span>
