I hated having that same feeling as I watched the play since I don't want to blame the victim. But again, it doesn't excuse the actions of the head coach.

Meantime, there are things we can learn/discuss in terms of the crew's reaction. My first thought was I wished the L and the C got the T away from the scene of the crime (I know, it's an emotional situation so it's hard to think straight). The T could have stepped back and observed the benches while the L reported his PC and the C made sure the HC left the visual confines.

I was also a bit surprised the L didn't ring up the HC on his own. Three-point game or not, the guy came 5-10 feet onto the court to get in the L's face. It looked as though he may have thought about calling a T then changed his mind.

According to a local NBC affiliate, Police responded to a Tuesday night high school basketball game between Neshaminy and Pennsbury in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia’s City of Basketball Love reports that in the final 30 seconds of the game, Neshaminy head coach Jerry Devine – upset with an offensive foul call on a layup that would’ve made it a 3-point game – argued with one of the officials, and then appeared to headbutt a second.

Devine has been the Varsity Boys head coach at Neshaminy for 10 years. Middletown Township Police who responded to the call, have not yet revealed if any charges brought against Devine.
