I see three accountability issues here:
(1) Bailey needed to be held accountable for his participation in a dispute that carried over into the public arena. He was.
(2) Montgomery needed to be held accountable for his participation in a dispute that carried over into the public arena. He was.
(3) Bailey needs to be held accountable for, if the allegations are true, his racist behavior toward an officiating colleague. That remains to be seen. I'd have no problem with (again, if the alleged facts are true in both words and connotation) a Kentucky High School Athletic Association decision to drop Bailey as an official. Drastic? Sure. But maybe we'd all be better off if some pretty clear lines were drawn....
