I have had the "privelege" of watching the Garfield coach (the one who makes the racism claims)in a number of State tournaments...here is an actual conversation (as near as I can remember it) from my first time watching his team lose in a tourny game...I was sitting with several other officials...
"Well, Garfield loses another quarterfinal game. I give him 10 minutes,' says official #1.
"10? I give him 5," says #2.
"What are you taliking about?" I ask.
"In less than 10 minutes, we will walk over by the tournament office, and Floyd will be in there complaining about racist refs, " responds #1.
"Oh come on, " I said.
"Let's go," says #2...so we went over there, and sure enough, there he was doing exactly what they said...understand that his team had just lost by 13 points to the eventual State champions...I was back there the next two years in a row, and the exact same thing happened both times...when this guy loses, the refs are racist...those who are familiar with him are not surprised by his comments...he is a first class whiner...
