Phones were buzzing all over today with the media trying to find "expert" commentary on the situation.

Tim,
This doesn't really have any bearing on the situation from Saturday. Bottom line is the coach was assessed two T's for unsportsmanlike conduct & DQ'd. When he either refused to leave the gym or returned after leaving, depending on which version you read, he committed criminal trespass under Oregon law. This is what he was arrested and cited for by CCSO after he was interviewed.
Unless Estacada's game Friday was against Molalla (and it wasn't, it was against North Marion), then there is no way you can possibly construe any link between the two events. Further, Estacada won the Friday game, so if there was a DQ it had no bearing on the outcome. If the Estacada player was DQ'd Friday, then he will suffer the proscribed penalty of missing the next game, which oddly enough was tonight against Molalla.
Nothing the HS kid may have allegedly done on Friday justifies the alleged actions of the MS coach:
1. Refusing to leave or returning to the gym after being DQ'd
2. Accosting an official after the game
3. Making intentional physical contact with an official
