It doesn't apply to the media, just coaches. As pointed out in the game thread, Lavin probably just reacted out of habit from his coaching days.

Anyway, it sounds like Diebler has given people 77 reasons to consider as to why O.J. Mayo shouldn't be considered a shoo-in for Mr. Basketball this year. :wink:

Baskets here, free throws there and a bunch of 3-pointers from anywhere.
Several players in the newly-formed Portage Trail Conference were part of a statewide scoring binge last week.

Although it was not an area story, it would be unfair to start anywhere other than Upper Sandusky and forward Jon Diebler. The 6-6 junior, who helped eliminate St. Vincent-St. Mary in last year's regionals and played a key role in the school's drive to the Division II state title, scored 77 points during a 105-100 overtime victory over Tiffin Columbian. More about that later.

Already committed to Ohio State, Diebler made 22-of-42 field goal attempts - including six 3-pointers - and was 27-of-28 at the free throw line. Four of his 3-pointers came in a span of 56 seconds in the third quarter.

The 77 points are the seventh-highest total in Ohio history according to the OHSAA and are believed to be the most points scored in the state in the last 37 years. Bellaire St. John's Allan Hornyak, who went on to star at OSU, scored 86 points against Tiltonsville in 1969.

One of my all-time favorite Buckeyes. Lets hope Diebler has the same type of career Burson had, minus the halo. :wink2:

Burson was my fave. He played in my school's conference. He broke the state record against my high school (Philo) and one of my best friend's dad was Philo's coach at the time.

That guy was amazing, would have loved to seen him in the NBA had he not had the next injury. Now Kevin Martin is the only guy from that area in the NBA.

Do you mean neck? :wink2: I still remember the Kroger commercial Jay was in wearing the halo.

For Diebler to even be compared to Burson at the high school level is quite a compliment.
