Cooper Flagg vs #1 Team In Utah Was WILD! | Montverde vs American Fork

[@michaelhiatt8802]

For the record, American Fork is simply a standard high school. It isn't an academy designed to produce basketball talent. It is just a regular high school south of Salt Lake.

[@TysonTrill-md2mk]

Definitely wouldn’t call this “WILD” lmao

Monteverde’s 2nd string are all Splash Brothers,😂, good lord lmfao

[@zeebee3606]

That charge called around 2 minutes.... that was the worst I've seen in a long time... ref wanted to get daps from the bench it seems like

[@deez994]

Coming from an actual basketball official - that was 100% a charge, shoulder down and kid sold it too. Also you don’t have to be set to take a charge. All about positioning

[@zeebee3606]

@deez994 I played d2 and I disagree. As a ref u should understand that the kid got the ball running down the wing and went to dribble in one motion, defender was a step behind as he caught it and stepped straight into where he was going with his move.

[@kwith22]

I am also a basketball ref and you are 100% correct. Player never established a defensive position, I agree you can slide your feet but you have to have been in a position first@@zeebee3606

[@chadberry3317]

@@zeebee3606defender was definitely a step late but the shoulder drop and initiating the contact made it a 50/50 call, especially when dealing with HS refs who don’t have as many games under their belt. Would have been a tough call either way

[@patrickburton5581]

As a high school official as well this was an easy call. The defender legit did nothing wrong.

[@SB-mw1bg]

Cooper has some great teammates.

[@hc338]

Pretty sure wasatch academy is #1 team in UT. They are in the middle of nowhere and are mostly international players.

[@alanaldpal950]

Can’t just be honest and title your video: “who wants to watch a blow out?”

[@AchillesWrath1]

I don't know if that was called charge @1:55 but the defender definitely was still sliding his feet. In other words not set.

[@AchillesWrath1]

@@deez994 The defender beat him to the spot and established his position? That's not what i saw. Another part of the charge definition states "Against a dribbler in the open court, the defender simply needs to be in front of him and provide enough distance for that player to reasonably stop or change direction." In the clip mention i did not see the defender giving the offensive player "enough distance to reasonably stop or change direction" Because 1 the defensive player never established a position and 2 he was inches away from him before contact and still moving. But i could be wrong i guess who knows.

[@sep2342]

@@AchillesWrath1 yeah i 100% agree, ref was kinda biased prob

[@PharaohofKaraoke]

I saw a charge the dribbler drove right into the chest of the defender, defender doesn’t have to be set when this is the case he is not in the nba yet

[@robynator4168]

deez994 is correct - you don't have to beat an opponent to the spot any longer. You have to establish a legal guarding position which is essentially facing the opponent with 2 feet on the floor. Any contact to the torso of the defender who is in a legal guarding position is considered a player control foul. I believe they called it correctly.

Would like to see Cooper play in person.. Huge difference between video and being there.

[@Djwf91]

MVC is an all star team, they should beat every single team they play. Cooper is a piece to the puzzle for this team. If he wasn’t on this team they would be great anyways. Let’s put Cooper on a less talented team and have him work more instead of just watching his teammates do everything . I ain’t no basketball savant but it is always great to see players on a school team that is not comprised full a bunch of D1 players.

[@GregoryKeller]

The vast majority of NBA stars today play on the powerhouse, prep Academy outside of a guy like Tyrese Maxey

[@sonofRassmuss]

These traveling academy teams are everything that is wrong with high school sports. If they don't end up playing professionally then they have no life skills to fall back on because their entire life has been basketball. That's basically a ncaa div 1 basketball team going up against a public high school team. ReALly ImPrEsSiVe WiN!

[@TayeDontPlay]

You are 1 of those guys who try to convince themselves that being a millionaire is a bad thing cuz they don't know the value of a hard days work? This might be the first time I've heard someone advocate that kids at private schools, many of which have D1 scholarships to prestigious universities are at some kind of disadvantage for not attending a (wait for it) PUBLIC school system😂😂😂😂😂.... What exactly are these kids missing out on? Trust me these guys are getting the FULL hs experience AND SOME! From banging chicks, drugs, travel, friends, personalized education & social media exposure etc. I promise you, these kids will have more opportunities & be more successful than the average high school kid. You Hating on kids that have scholarships to Duke, stanford, Vanderbilt, etc while your local HS kids in your town will be out flipping burgers or attending community College. Sad.

[@sonofRassmuss]

I think that you have reading comprehension issues. I never advocated for the public school system. In fact, i think homeschooling or private school is the only way to get a decent education. My point is that the kids that go to these basketball academy's don't learn anything other than basketball, I know this from experience. They are constantly on the road for 4 months out of the school year, destroying public high schools, for what? There is more to life than sportsball, i wish Americans would wake up to this fact.

[@robertwallace5498]

refs need to call more charges, makes the game a much better chess match

[@racebannon8569]

I played coached and watched in various levels for 50 years ...and Cooper Flagg will be a VERY wealthy young man. Unreal motor when he needs it. Great passer , next level defender , Long, runs the court well, unselfish , hops, good shot , wouldn't say great . A winner . Very athletic. Sees the game and floor extremely well for a kid who hasn't yet turned 17 years old. He will need some adjustment time for the NBA. But Cooper Flagg will be a lottery pick ... probably top 5 when he comes out of Duke. And a success in the NBA and the god awful basketball played there now.

They are pretty much all 5-star guys. They are just as involved in the offense as Cooper is...in fact sometimes more so. He goes through stretches of games where he barely touches the ball. Hard to argue with the results though.
