He is not to be blamed for the comments the coach made...which is the big leap of logic MD tried to pin on me.
He did NOT need to include those comments in the article celebrating a big win by a different coach. For including them, he also earns the asshatery award. Maybe the asshat junior award when compared to crybaby coach...but he gets one, too. |

I disagree with anyone that feels like the reporter should have left out the coach's comments. It's not the job of this reporter (or any for that matter) to filter out ANYTHING that is said by a coach, regardless of how dumb/sore/ignorant it makes him sound. Being such a significant portion of the coach's comments, this reporter would have been remiss in editing it out. A classic case of "don't shoot the messenger".
The reporter wasn't biased or inaccurate. JRut is accurate in that it just shows the character of the coach. Asshattery Award solely for the coach.

By the way, this article was not just about fact that it was the 600th win ... there's a separate article just on that, and this reporter puts a link to that article right at the top. THIS article was about the game itself and the comments. Perhaps the title was misleading, but usually the reporter doesn't write the headline - editors do, and they often don't get past the first 3 paragraphs before writing that headline.

Classless ...
We had something similar, here in Connecticut, a few years ago.

From the FHSAA Basketball handbook: 30.4 Public Criticism of Officials. No coach or other representative of the school’s athletic interests may publicly criticize or berate an official prior to, during or following a contest. Professional ethics require that coaches or other representatives of the school’s athletic interests use proper channels, as per Bylaw 10.3.2, to report their complaints about officials rather than airing them publicly. A minimum monetary penalty of $50 shall be assessed a school whose coach or other representative of the school’s athletic interests are in violation of this provision.

Here's one from the guy who works in the media...
I'm writing about coach XYZ's 600th victory. I go to the opposing coach for comments about the game. He goes on a rant about the officiating. Do I...ignore them? If that's what he said, that's on him. If the reporter asked him specifically about the officiating and ignored the 600th win aspect - which could've happened, we don't know - I'd find fault with him since that's probably why he was sent on the assignment to begin with. But if the losing coach is asked about one thing, answers and then rants about the officiating I'm not doing my job if I leave it out. As other have said, the reporter actually provided a service by getting those comments out there. Now the state can deal with the losing HC if it sees fit.
