Just about 3 weeks ago here in SE KY, an asst coach from a mountain school ran out on the field, in somewhat of a tight game, and made a bush comment to an official. The official flagged him for UC. The coach then blew his lid and went nuts on that official. Told him he didn't know who he was messing with. White had came in from behind and flagged him again and said have a nice evening. Coach pulls out his State Trooper badge and says he just messed with the wrong guy. White hat, a sheriff's deputy let him know who he was and how out of line he was. There were several words as the Trooper made a racial comment to the white deputy and the deputy made a comment back to him. Then the Trooper apparently did an "All Call" on his radio and the cars came flying. Officials had to stop the game in the 4th. I think the Trooper is now on adm leave.
I had a similar situation where I had a D.C. come out on me and I tossed him. He wouldn't leave the field so I asked the HC for the local LE. He said that the guy I just dumped was one of two at the game. The other was that guys twin brother who was the O.C. Coach managed to get him off the field before I pulled the trigger. A uniformed officer was then spotted behind the bench with the ejected coach. I went over to inform the deputy that he coach had to leave the stadium. He looked at me and smilled. As I told him that either he was leaving or we all were, the school Prin. came down to see what was going on. I asked her to get a Trooper to the field asap to help remove the coach/deputy and officer or we are shutting 'er down. They finally got the message.
How are the kids supposed to respect the game and officials when the parents, coaches, and some LE don't?
