My Take:

1. In a close game like this the senior administrator on duty (Athletic Director or Principal) should have ordered security to the baseline where officials leave the floor and enter its locker room. In an especially close game where tensions are high and the officials have a long walk to their vehicles security should stay with them until the engine starts and they pull out of the parking lot. IF this is done then it is highly unlikely that the incident occurs.


This incident occurred however and punishment needs to be addressed!

2. I believe that the following needs to happen
A. A letter of reprimand needs to be placed in this coach's personnel file!
B. The coach should be suspended for next season!
C. He must write an full length apology letter to the OHSAA,Game Officials, and his school!
D. After suspension this coach must spend ALL of the next season under observation from referees and OHSAA officials. ONE bad incident report and he should not only be fired but banned from HS coaching in Ohio.If this becomes necessary what are the chances that anyone would hire this guy again in any other state? Absolutely Zero!
