Resolution/Outcome from KY Incident - It's Over.
It has been a while since this topic hit the boards, but here’s what I know…you may believe it or not or voice your opinion about it or not.
Darrell Bailey was suspended for a year by the KHSAA. Darrell was the white official that came in the locker room at halftime of Vic Montgomery’s game. Victor resigned from the local and state association. Victor is no longer officiating high school basketball, but is still officiating at the collegiate level (I do not know if it's Division i, ii, or iii) and I hear is doing very well and has moved on since this incident. No lawsuit is pending that I know of. Darrell is still officiating, but I think only in the ABA. Darrell was asked to resign as president but did not resign. Victor was not asked to resign.
The assigning secretary, Rip Hatfield, was replaced…basically fired. Bobby McGrath is the new assigning secretary in Louisville.
This was a crazy incident and many rumors and untruths floated around. One thing for certain that did NOT happen is that neither official struck the other nor did the altercation EVER go into the stands. I think it is best the EVERYONE just move on and let this thing die down as the officials involved have done.
Personal attacks toward either official is not needed. This is just my opinion…
