We used to have a HS coach out here in WA who would do the same thing...anytime he lost in a regional or State tournament, he would blast the refs for being racist - he coached a team that was mostly, if not all, black...so at the Regional tournament one year, the "powers-that=be" made sure that he had all African-American crews in all of his games. Turns out he lost twice and didn't even make it to State. The reporter who had written the articles the previous two years where the coach claimed racism called the coach on it, and the coach's response was (as near a quote as I can remember) "Just because they're black doesn't mean they're any good."

People like that will ALWAYS find a reason to blame someone else whan they don't win...
