Cleveland's Coach

[dblduce]

I heard that Cleveland's coach Aaron Green was suspended? Does anyone know why and for how long?

Here's the scoop on Coach Green from Ol' Backyard Legend. While on their recent trip to Huntsville for the Huntsville Times Holiday tournament, Coach Green got upset with a referee. The referee slapped a technical foul on him. The referree instructed him to sit down and when Coach Green sat down he made a comment that he thought the call was pitiful. The referee heard him and slapped another technical foul on him. That is an immediate ejection in the game.

 

The suspension is in question due to the fact that the tournament was in Alabama and was under Alabama state athletics jurisdiction. In Alabama, there is no suspension for being ejected from a game on your first offense. In Tennessee, if a coach gets ejected from a game, then he faces a fine and 2 game suspension. No one really knows for sure if the TSSAA would hold him to 2 game suspension since the incident happened outside the state, but the school decided to enforce it just in case the TSSAA ruled that Coach Green was suspended. He sat out their last game in the Huntsville tournament and he will sit out their next game also.

 

I understand where the school is coming from on this issue due to the recent run in with the TSSAA over the post game scuffle at Rhea County in football that got the whole program a year of probation. Better safe than sorry...right? Anyways, that's the scoop on the suspension. Coach Green should be back on the bench in early January.

 

Until next time, the Backyard Legend is outta here!

Hey thanks Legend! Do you happen to know if the mess with Jay Davis has been cleared up yet?

[smallie]

Jay played in Alabama.

good info backyard thanks

[BackyardLegend]

Yes... Jay Davis has been cleared to play for the basketball team. The school was informed by the TSSAA right after their last regular season game before the Christmas break. He played in the Huntsville Times Classic.

 

Hope this helps! Until next time...Backyard Legend

Now coach Green can really relate to Jay Davis sitting out all those games.This could be a turning point in their season.

[ProHScout]

Man Cleveland should be in some pretty hot water right now. First the football scuffle, then Jay Davis eligibility, and now this. Things are not looking to bright for Cleveland.

Is Cleveland High sending the TSSAA the standard $ 250 fine?

 

I would think that would be of more concern to the state office.

I heard the refs cheated cleveland at the huntsville tourny. Any truth to this?

[bearmen]

Coach green is gone as soon as he can find another job. Not just any job but a good one. Rhea co. has had alot to do with this subject.

Hey Bearmen, explain yourself. What in the world does Rhea County have to do with the coaching job at Cleveland High?
