I happened to be at the game and sat about 5 rows up from the scorers table so I could be in between both teams fans in hopes to hear anything. There was some hostility in the air but it was only towards Burns (As far as the players and student section). It looked to me as if the Ottumwa players had a chip on their shoulder when Burns would catch the ball. They were over aggressive in not letting him get anything easy.
That being said the play where Schon got hurt:
He got a steal near mid court, the Ottumwa player was trying to chase him down for a "Lebron" block. From about a step behind the Ottumwa player went up to one hand block from behind and whiffed as he swung. His follow through hit Schon in the shoulder. The two landed separate from each other and Schons foot landed on his toes and that was that.
Horrible feeling for him. Great player, great kid.
I understand why it was called an intentional foul. The play happened fast and the refs felt that was the way to cover their grounds but all in all from a live view the Ottumwa kid went for the ball and missed. There was no intent to hurt Schon at all. With the hostility towards Burns the Centennial fans felt there was intent. I could see if he shoved him or tried to undercut but he tried to block and missed. A lot of teams have a "don't get dunked on" moto they go by so i didn't see any issue with the attempt. Obviously the outcome is terrible and had to be called intentional because of the extent of what happened but it was not "intentionally done"
As far as the Ottumwa kids not shaking Burns hand:
Is it disrespectful? Yes, especially at the high school level. However, being a former athlete if I played with someone for 10 years every summer and season and he left me for our senior season because "we sucked" and he "wanted to win" I probably would have done the same thing. Did everyone really expect Ottumwa to be buddy-buddy with him? Come on!
Lastly, I was close to the scorers table as the players were shaking hands, I wanted to hear or see anything that happened. Especially after the Schon event. None of the Ottumwa kids shook his hand, the coaches from Ottumwa did and said good luck. Towards the end of the line one of the assistant coaches from Centennial said something to an Ottumwa player about not shaking Burns hand which is what started the talking that Brunks is talking about.
