6AA tournament

[Indian]

Not a lot went right for Hixson during their game against Howard but a couple of parents made it worse. From the start it was clear these two had issues with a couple of the players and the coaches. One of the guards had 8 threes a couple of games ago but tonight wasn't his night, another long range shooter had his problems on both ends but they were doing their best against the district's top team. Hixson's shot selection wasn't really that great but yelling "why don't you pass the ball!", "you can shoot but you can't play defense!", etc, was pretty pathetic. When Howard would score on the break the yelling would be "that's what happens when you pass the ball!." The two guards getting the bulk of the abuse had to have heard it, everyone in the area of the bleachers kept turning and looking each time these two would embarrass themselves. Finally a student turned around and yelled at them "you're not helping, just let them play", something close to that and the mother yelled an obscenity back at him, from about 8 rows behind him. That was an awful display, the Hixson players were doing their best against a superior opponent. It's a good thing the parents of the players either chose to ignore it or were sitting elsewhere or there could have been major problems in the stands.

typical hixson

Sounds typical of the leadership and character that the new coach has displayed all year. I know as an official that I have had to get on to him several times for his profanity to his players, to other referees and to some fans. I still don't understand how a coach can get thrown out of a game that Hixson won by almost twenty and especially right before the district tournament. But this is the person that was hired that the principal was quoted as saying: Hixson High School Principal Christine Couch said. "Most importantly, however, Coach Disbrow is a proven leader and his commitment to the success of his athletes is extraordinary." What a commitment to his players. Get thrown out of a game, suspended two games and cause the school to have to pay $250.00 when there is no money to get out of a $20 million dollar deficit anyway. What a proven leader. Hixson is really getting sad. Parents should not treat kids this way at all, but it is always the kids who suffer no matter if they are shooting all of the time, passing all of the time or not even playing. They will always remember the impression that was left on their lives, either from the coach or the parents.

Your first sentence makes no sense, this had nothing to do with the coach and he was not even on the bench.

Christine Couch's approval is like being given the Kiss of Death...she has bubble bath bubbles for brains.
