I never said it was only that. I’ve heard other stuff too from different people. Also, it's not just Manasquan, its other towns that go there too. They have 8 beach towns that go to the school.

New Jersey HS boys basketball playoff game ends in controversy over buzzer-beater: 'They screwed these kids'
A New Jersey high school playoff basketball game was mired in controversy on Tuesday night after officials reversed a buzzer-beating shot.www.foxnews.com
NJ referees admit blowing call in controversial HS basketball playoff game, won't overturn result
After further review, the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association admitted referees blew the final call of their semifinal that resulted in a game-winner being called off.
A good life lesson? That is something which sounds comforting at the time but ultimately it is an overused excuse. Yes I would agree people make mistakes as we saw in this game however the life lesson is short lived for most of those Manasquan kids. Someone at state level needs to step up and rectify what happened so as this does not occur again.
Off topic, but I give Plum Street a lot of credit. He calls it as he sees it, no matter where it lands him. We all should strive to be that way...
This is a case where EVERYONE WHO WATCHES THE VIDEOS KNOWS that Manasquan's last shot was good, and thus they WON THE GAME. Yet one official argued another one into WRONGLY changing the original call and giving the win to the wrong team.
It was a missed call human error it happens. Trying to dribble out 8 mins and not scoring in the 4th quarter put your team in that situation.
What else does our court system have to do these days? Certainly not needed in many areas anymore with criminal releasing encouraged.
I have no idea what the NJSIAA rule is on vacation homes vs primary residences. But people in the coaching community out there think Manasquan is very shady in this area.
Is it any different than college sports, where everyone thinks that their school does things the right way, but all of their rivals are shady?
Already posted and as I stated Camden would be doing the EXACT same thing if they were only the other side of things.
And they would have some very high powered politicians fighting for them.
It would actually be a much bigger story than it currently is if things were reversed.
You can say what you want but this was not human error. This ref cheated. He either cheated or was not paying attention. If he was not paying attention he should not have overruled the other ref who clearly saw it and called it right. He not only made the correct call but he adamantly said the basket counted. The ref who overuled it was the farthest from the play AND never made a call. Just stood there watching. When you watch the video it is obvious.
You have never seen a missed call like this in your life. That is how bad it was.
You make up any excuse on what mannasquan could have done to win but the truth is they did just enough to win and the ref cheated.
I don’t know . All I know is I was told Manasquan is notorious for this in among the high school community.
People really think refs come to cheat kids is beyond insane. The facts are Manasquan blew the game also most of u didn't even see the game that's a whole other issue on here. Was it a bad call yes but Manasquan has to also take accountability also. I would never ever want be in a game that refs can dictate the outcome on a final play. If that final play as a coach didn't go in my favor because of a bad call I wouldn't be upset. I go into every game knowing refs mess up so why complain. LEAVE NO DOUBT!
Didn’t see the post scrolled up quick must’ve missed it.
Yes that would be a sore loser mentality and a waste of resources had Camden done the same thing. Not sure they would have but certainly possible.
Not sure why it would be a bigger story. Already a big one.
so refs cheat in NJ haha players coaches and fans take zero accountability it's always the refs cheating. Teams could be losing the refs are cheating lol
Yep...plus, my favorite part of the lawsuit is the contention that the referees "left the court". They were on the sideline in front of the table. If that's "leaving the court", then they leave the court a dozen times every game.
The only person who thought the shot was too late was the one official. Even the Camden team knew that they had lost. Everybody else too. What does such a clearly incorrect call that came at the end of the game and decided the game do to the integrity of the sport and New Jersey high school basketball ? Especially when the "error" is so easily corrected.
Not saying I agree but it happens everywhere. Camden is probably most egregious.
Camden to appear before NJSIAA for hearing regarding basketball recruiting allegations
The state association has investigated Camden 's tuition arrangements with star non-resident players
At least Manasquan collects the out of district tuition when it applies.
Tuition students at public schools has been around for a while now.
It’s not just an athletic thing either…
Anyone who watched the video can clearly see that Manasquan scored one more point than Camden and should be advancing to the next round of the tournament. Letting such an obvious error....one that clearly affected the outcome of the game... stand makes NJ basketball a joke.
Yeah, I am sure it happens in a lot of places.Not saying I agree but it happens everywhere. Camden is probably most egregious.
