Manasquan school district tried everything to overturn the result of the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) Group 2 boys basketball semifinal result, even taking legal action after officials waved off a buzzer-beater that should’ve won them their game against Camden High School. 

But Camden’s athletic director Will Hickson appears to be moving on since the Tuesday night controversy got swept into the news cycle. 

On Friday night, a post came from an X account that is purportedly Hickson’s. The athletic director said, "See you at Rutgers.." with heart emojis and the 1989 movie poster for Spike Lee’s "Do the Right Thing."

Some in the comments view this tweet by Hickson as trolling considering the lengths Manasquan has gone in trying to reverse the decision made on Tuesday night. 

After Camden took a one-point lead in the game, Manasquan had a few seconds to get down the court and win it with a basket. After an initial three-pointer didn’t go in, a Manasquan player smartly ran for the rebound and was able to get a quick tip-in off before the buzzer sounded. Video of the scene clearly shows that time was still on the clock when the ball was in the air. 

However, after reviewing it together on the court, the officials waved off the basket, claiming it hadn't been released in time and that Camden had won the game.
