I'm speaking as a coach, not an official, but... this kind of action by a coach on the floor is totally unacceptable. The coach (term used lightly) should be tossed for doing something so stupid. Problem is, with so little time left in the game, the tossing isn't punitive enough. Anyway to carry it over to another game? This type of behavior really makes my blood boil.
The language of unacceptable applies here. While I appreciate everyone's thoroughness in this great forum, I just don't see a lot of gray or fuzziness in this case. What would you do if the coach snatched the whistle out of your mouth as you ran past him? [Edited by PGCougar on Sep 22nd, 2004 at 07:49 AM] |

OhioHSAA rules regarding ejections for unsportsmanlike conduct are as follows: Example: A varsity coach is sitting on the bench of a freshmen game which is the first game of a freshmen, jr. varsity, varsity tripleheader. 1) The person ejected is disqualified for all competition the rest of the day. That means the varsity coach stays in the lockerroom for the rest of the freshmen game as well as all of the jr. varsity and varsity games. 2) First ejection of the season: Two game suspension at the level of the ejection with the suspension starting with the next day of competition. The varsity coach in our example is suspended from coaching freshmen, jr. varsity, and varsity games, until the freshmen team has played two games. That means if the varsity team plays four game before the freshmen plays two games, the varsity coach is out for those four varsity games. 3) Second ejection of the season, the player or coach is suspended for the rest of the season. If it is a coach that is ejected, the coach and his principal gets to have a personal face-to-face meeting with the Commissioner in his office in Columbus, and you can bet dollars to donuts that is not a automobile ride one, who is a coach, wants to have with his principal. If it is the last game of the season, the OhioHSAA determines player or coach's penalty and the penalty will be imposed during the next sport in which either participate. So at least in Ohio, even if the ejection is late in the game, the penalties can be very severe.

Even more to the point, if a coach curses at you, says "Aw, that was a BS call!", that's unacceptable behavior. Are you gonna toss him for that? I sincerely hope not, at least at the HS level or above. You guys all stopped reading the definition too soon. Yes, it says "unacceptable" behavior, but read further and it tells you what makes it flagrant: "If technical, it [the flagrant foul] involves dead-ball contact or noncontact at any time which is extreme or persistent, vulgar or abusive conduct." (4-19-4) Can you really tell me that this coach's action was extreme, persistent, vulgar, or abusive? I don't think you can. So my question (I'm not even trying to make a point here, I'm just asking) is, what makes this action of touching a live ball while it's being dribbled inbounds FLAGRANT? If all you can tell me is that it's unacceptable, I don't think that's good enough, personally. Quote:

But since you're asking a question, too, I'll answer it. The coach's action is "extreme"ly unusual, but the action itself (striking the ball) is not extreme, no. Striking the player would be extreme. Throwing a chair is extreme. Those things are nowhere near the same level as knocking the ball away from the dribbler, IMO.

I know that I stated at the beginning of this thread that I would eject the coach for his actions and that Chuck does not think that ejection is required. Some of the posts since Chuck's while not personal in nature are kind of over the top in defending the position of ejecting the coach in this situation.
In this situation, my first inclination would be to eject, but I also believe that Chuck's position can be defended. It is my opinion that this is really a "you had to be there and see it" situation before the decision to eject or not to eject can be made. My own inclination would be to not eject if it were bench personel other that a coach (head or assistant) and to eject if it were a coach (head or assistant). It is a terrible act no matter who commits it, but coaches need to be held to a higher standard of conduct because they are to be leading by example. MTD, Sr.

I'm just trying to find out if people really think this coach's actions fit into the parameters of "extreme, repeated, vulgar or abusive".

You getting strategy advice from the Kerry campaign? Speaking of politics, what's the difference between Bill Clinton and a screwdriver? A screwdriver turns in screws, and Clinton screws interns. And here's something else I found on the internet, a particular definition of EXTREME which you might like to look at: Quote:
I don't know about where you are, but where I am a coach that knocks the ball away from the dribbler is certainly "far beyond a norm in quantity or amount or degree".
