Haywood and Dusty Rhodes

If I were the Association,  I'd stay with the original punishment they have announced.  Send a message loud and clear.

What if the coach steps down and self imposes a minimum 2 year coaching ban?

The coach was not the only one who acted improperly. If he stepped down you would still have assistant coaches and players that acted improperly. All should share the blame and be accountable for their actions.

I wouldn't take anything behind door number 1 , 2 ,  or 3.

Agreed. Non of the 3 requires anyone to take responsibility for their actions other than the head coach. In my opinion all need to take responsibility for their part.

TSSAA will not accept any of those options.

 

No way.

 

If they do, it sends a heck of a bad message.  We won't be able to find anyone to officiate soon.

Why would anyone act this way at the State tournament in front of all the big boys?

This is the fiirst year I have watched a slew of HS baseball in a while. Umpiring in baseball is worse than basketball, IMO. No reason to act the way he did but it was awful.

Perhaps if coaches, players, and parents acted like civil human beings at high school sporting events, specifically towards officials, we would have better qualified people in those positions.  Who would want to be treated like that at their job and continue to do it?
