Here's my entire opinion on the matter, then I'm done. I agree with TSSAA's punishment of the program. If a coach "loses it" on the field, assistants should control the dugout and all players on the field if possible before worrying about arguing the call, then separate coach and the official. From the video and the written account, assistant coaches and some players were confrontational towards the officials, and that's not acceptable. 

   Now to the initial call... I don't believe that Dusty would react to the situation as angrily as he did if it went as the ump stated. If he and Dusty had a "polite educational discussion" over the pitchers stance and windup, I'll eat your hat. If the whole truth ever comes out, I'll bet that Dusty was right about the initial situation, and either both, or just the ump escalated it to the point of control being lost. People hardly ever react as angrily as Coach did when they're wrong, and I'd trust Dusty's judgement over the ump's as to who knows the rule.

   Dusty was wrong to act the way he did, no matter the reason. The assistant coaches were also wrong. the players involved should have retreated away from the infield, or remained in the dugout... the "situation" that created the incident however, (in my mind) has to be at least shared with the ump.

Bingo Trader. On point again. I just Can’t be as articulate as you. By the way I had To look up how to spell articulate. Hahaha. Bushes anyone?  See you football season brother. Making the rounds this year since I only Have one playing middle school.

Haywood High School has requested a hearing before the Board of Control members from the West Tennessee grand division in regards to recent sanctions placed on the baseball program.

 
The hearing will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the DoubleTree Hotel in Murfreesboro.

Tough situation for all. Hate to see future players punished but obviously a punishment of some kind is warranted. Would like to see TSSAA do what is best for players for once.

The players made mistakes as well. You can’t leave the dugout and rush out on the field. You can yell and holler at officials. You can’t motion like you are going to take a swing at officials. All of this was done by players in the video. The players do deserve punishment just like the coach.

What if those players were seniors?

Does not matter in my eyes. The players do what they are taught and their behavior is a result of their environment. Coaches who are teaching sportsmanship and correct values don’t have kids making these bad decision. You had the head coach, assistant coaches and players all actin extremely inappropriately. Clearly the culture that is cultivated within this program is toxic and in my eyes the penalty is justified.

You saw how the leader of this program acted.  His kids acted similarly.  They should both share in the punishment.

 

There is no place in amateur baseball for this type of behavior, I don't care what happened.  This is an embarrassment for the state of Tennessee.
