HS Players Cheapshot Ref For Making Bad Call (1 Viewer)

[jonessed]

To me, it doesn't matter if the coach told them. That doesn't get them off the hook. Just because the coach ordered the Code Red doesn't exonerate Dawson and Downey.

Wasn't this week's ago? It's just now coming out that the coach told them to do it?First it was an accident, then the referee was racist, and now the coach made them do it. Where are the parents in all of this? These guys need to learn to take some responsibility.

The story is now that the coach told them to do it because he cheated them and used racial slurs. They are doubling down on the excuses here and going all in.

The coach was a racist now too?

WoW!

Agree with the WoW! Top 10 mullet of all time.

He must have lost a fight with a barber. He looks ridiculous. I can't imagine someone actually paying to get that haircut unless it was a dare or something like that.

 

[TenTimes]

Props to the third kid who realized his coach was an idiot and passed on hitting the ref.

Ruined his street cred which is risky in that neighborhood, but I support the decision anyway

No. That's my bad. The coach said the ref was racist and cheated them.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Any truth to the rumor that they saw the ref holding a clock and thought he was a Muslim with a bomb?

Duh

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Good lord.

If there is any truth to this story about the coach telling them to stick the ref...#### all 3 of them.

But Im having a hard time believing these two future Rhodes scholars.

Either way, these kids are losers.

 

[D-Day]

I love where their attorney said it was an "accident" and the were punished enough. That was no accident and that POS attorney needs something bad happen to him, like getting that mullet haircut... Now that is an accident.

You'd start a fight with refs because they use racial slurs? I hope you never venture down South or into a Walmart. You'll be scrapping 24x7.

Nope. My guess is that the players did it themselves without any direction from the coach. Assuming the quote I posted from the story is correct, it seems suspicious that the coach asked first what would happen to the players and then admitted he directed them to do it after he was told they would be suspended.

If he was going to admit culpability, why would he ask about the players' punishment first?

My guess is if it was a couple of laps, he wouldn't have admitted it. When the punishment was significant, he felt he had to fess up. IMO, of course.

I think that's possible. My opinion was based on that I think the players acted alone - teenagers, emotion, hormones - that kind of thing. Maybe I don't want to believe that a coach would tell his players to intentionally hit a referee.

Sounds about right. Can I get a cameo from Danny Bonaduce?

it keeps them from cancelling the season, which is the right course of action given that they have no responsible adults in a position to run the team....

Because if the players weren't going to be punished, then the coach wouldn't have admitted his involvement. Duh.

I would think that admitting that the hit came from a member of the coaching staff increases, rather than decreases, the likelihood of drastic action being taken against the program. Having the team forfeit the entire season is a penalty that is on the table specifically because of the allegation that the coaching staff was involved.

I read a report that he's retracted his story and says he never ordered it. He said he was trying to protect the players from being expelled. But now he's saying he never said anything close to payback the ref.

Reality is, some coaches are just nuts.

Just this last week, the High School Ice hockey league I ref had a game where the ref ejected both assist coaches for abuse of official. After the game, the assistants and heads coach were waiting for the ref right off the ice.

After some words, one asst coach made am over at the ref and when he went to defend himself, the coach grabbed his arm and twisted it. It didn't get much further b/c people stepped in. The whole thing is under review of the board at this point, but it just goest to show how coaches can't act like adults sometimes.

Fail. To fire the entire staff is a knee jerk reaction that ultimately would hurt the remaining players on the team. How about letting the admin first investigate how this coach was vetted, and if there were any indications of this type of behavior in the assistant coach's history?

I'll be honest, if I heard a ref using racial slurs, the night would more than likely end with me getting arrested. Having kids take care of it is chicken #### and Im guessing he's lying about the slurs.

Coach accused of telling players to hit ref pleads guilty to misdemeanor assault.

Breed resigned from the school and AP reports that John Jay principal Robert Harris said Breed admitted he told Rojas and Moreno to hit Watts. Per the terms of his plea agreement, however, Breed did not admit guilt.

I didnt see it in this article, but I was half listening this morning and I thought they said he also lost his teaching license?

In addition to his 18 months of probation, Breed was fined $1,500 and ordered to serve 120 hours of community service.
