Pete Trgovich resigns as boys basketball coach at E.C. Central | East Chicago Central Cardinals Prep Zone | nwitimes.com

Here is the latest follow up...

IHSAA to meet with E.C. Central on Friday concerning postgame comments | Boys Basketball | nwitimes.com
That wasn't the first original newspaper account. The very first one online at nwitimes.com | A Lee Enterprises Newspaper evidenced a tirade laced with racism and a personal preference for profiling that this coach deemed more equitable for his team. That article was very quickly edited because, in the words of the sports editor, it was too harsh not to have the IHSAA comment on the allegations stated. That article really needs to be republished in spite of the coach's resignation so that the public knows this person's character, and so that future school districts might be fully aware of it/
The ironic thing was that his words in the first article now vanished left the vivid impression on the reader that if only the official who called that last foul was of a certain race that game-determining call (in his mind, anyway) would not have been made. Which, of course, upon video review, constitutes a huge slam against those his profiling would prefer.
Twisted. Regretful. Gone, hopefully for good.
