:o Darn...that is what I get for typing and talking on the phone at the same time.

Hmmm...did this guy used to come across the river and do some Community and small college stuff??? Does he still do some Community College stuff in Oregon? Just wondering if I might have any stories about him, too???

WOW! Tony wins the Rut award for longest post of the day!

Is this a conversation better had by email and not on a public discussion board?

I'm not trying to be stuffy, preachy, or picky. And I'm not about to tell two long-standing members of this board what to do. But this strikes me as being borderline unprofessional.

We've all had threads where we complained about an unnamed partner from hell - but when we start getting into large, personal discussions about a specific individual, I dunno...

Just my $0.02, thrown in with the utmost respect.

Yes, to the IHSA and the school, within 24 hours.

If the coach participates, the games will (likely) be forfeited.

Naw, it made sense. We gotta give Tony the Mark T. DeNucci Sr. Award instead. :D

Re: Re: Re: Wow, this is lot of words.
 

How about the "Rutnucci Award"?

In IL, he's gone. Once anyone is removed from the stands they can not come back again that night. Some schools even have a policy (in my area anyways) that if you are kicked out of ANY sport, you can not attend another sporting event for the rest of the school year.

I doubt it. I don't know if he's even ever worked varsity yet. I'll e-mail you juicy details.

Rutnucci here
 

Well almost half of what I posted was cut and pasted from another website.

And I didn't bring up any of those emotional, I forgot to think topics like equal-opportunity, discrimination, and stuff... yeah and stuff. Blah, blah, blah

Man, it is difficult to be politically correct and not at the same time. So one could say I'm not overly witty either.

I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy .... just wordy. :D

This probably isn't an award I should write home about is it?

Contentment/serenity/silence/tranquility
and other words that absolutely do not fit with the content of my note.

Party-on, you butts.

Tossing the Fanboy Coach
 

I was doing a Girls Jv game last year and the varsity coach was sitting at the end of the front row down from the team bench.The game was close and he was cheering me and my partner on in the first half.At a time out he walks over to the huddle and helps coach.So at halftime as we are walking out I told th A.D. that he either sits on the team bench and cheers me or in the stands that hes not going to do both.Second half never heared the first word from him.

If he's in the stands, he's not a coach. (contrary to some parents who like to coach from the stands)

In Indiana if the Varsity coach gets tossed in a JV game he CANNOT coach the Varsity game. The state put that in their by-laws and it is the place of the host school or game management to handle that situation. It is then written up and sent to the state office and they handle it fromt here.

We always maintain professionalism to include that while sitting in the stands watching a game we are to not make comments on the officiating, and for that matter, the coaching or playing.

Is it unreasonable to think that other adults, known as coaches, could also have a professional approach that includes not commenting on other teams' players, coaches, and the officials in the game that they're watching?

I should hope not: it is not unreasonable. After all, these are people who are shaping the behavior of the kids playing the game. Just as a game is not about the officials, it is not about the coaches either.

Mr. Fanboy should feel that he has compromised his personal integrity and lowered his stock with actions such as being kicked out of a game. Even if he has built an amazing program that is the best across 3 states.

If he's in the stands, he is not a coach: he is a fan. He is still not above the game. If he acts in a manner in which ejection is deemed necessary, then the ejection is necessary. I don't care if he is Lenny Wilkens or Phil Jackson.

After the jurisdiction of the officials is over (either leaving the visual confines of the playing area, or further as dictated by state or local tournament adoption) I fail to see how that person can be denied entry into the gym again, whether to watch or coach.

Do the JV officials have the right to tell the V crew that Mr. Fanboy was ejected in the JV game? Of course they do.

If a rule exists that precludes Mr. Fanboy from coaching in that next game, can the V crew decide to not allow him to coach in that game, based on the information provided by the JV crew? Of course, and they should enforce that rule.

It's a rather easy scenario to administer.

Exactly my point. It sounds as if the host school or game management handles it in Indiana, similar to here in Washington.. not the officials. I don't see how this is any different than a kid who played 3 quarters of JV and plays 2 quarters of varsity. We aren't A.D.'s or principals and we don't determine who is eligible and who isn't.
