Officials demanding coach’s suspension for bumping ref even after video shows otherwi

[SNIPERBBB]

So does not the governing body there not have the ability to suspend the coach a few games if they deem it necessary? Why penalize the entire team here if they gave fulfilled all other requirements to enter the playoffs?

No they don't...

"We have no jurisdiction over personnel at schools," WPIAL executive director Tim O'Malley told the Post-Gazette, placing Bisignani's team on probation through 2014-15 and recommending he attend a coaching seminar. "That's a district issue. But we do have jurisdiction over schools. Greensburg Central can do what they want. But if they choose not to follow our directive, then they will be kept out of the postseason."

I found that whole statement a little confusing -- not knowing how PA structures it's "athletics association" or exactly what the WPIAL is.

1. Get rid of the requirement to physically go to scorers table to verify final score. A quick reminder at some point during the 4th QTR to the table (R will make eye contact we are good to go at the final buzzer).

Result:

1. Coaches can loss his Sh!t in the locker room where it belongs.

2. Mr. Tucci can run off the court to his locker room, and is not suffering from post tramactic stress.

Not a BB Official however, if after 30 years of officiating anything, this little incident bothers you that much??

("Tucci has told the high school athletic governing body that the incident has "affected me horribly")

Then I have to question your reaction or over-reaction to a ordinary foul.

Without condoning any contact, just maybe, the Coach is right!!!

Incidental contact. Move on.

Welcome to the land of going looking for trouble.

Round here if a t or unsporting foul of any kind has been administered we are asked to stand by the table until both teams have shaken hands and cleared the floor.


IN terms of the video. I'm not seeing a lot. Is the coach clearly not being classy? Sure. Is there an awkward shuffle between two adult men of questionable fitness in tight quarters? Definitely.

I question anything more then that and don't see anything "horrible" here.

"Tucci has told the high school athletic governing body that the incident has 'affected me horribly. I have a very uncomfortable feeling as soon as I step on the floor.'"

Me too. Thank you, Mother Nature, for getting my elementary school game canceled tonight. After seeing this video I'm afraid I'd whack every coach that got near me, which is tough since the gym is so small the front legs of the players' chairs are on the playing floor.

I will admit after reading this story, I felt horrible. I have feel uncomfortable everytime I step in and out of my office. I should have gone home........
