If this were a college game, there would be a fine AND suspension from the conference for that coach....alas, it's HS....nothing of consequence will probably happen...

He may not get much consideration in the future for who is assigned his games. You and I know assignors that have no problem sending back the officials the coach does not like. That could happen here and especially when the coach made this public and not a private conversation.

I know assignors who would send them back very soon in such a case.

Coach is an asshat.

Reporter who put that quote in his article is an asshat.

Editors who let it get published are asshats.

Why is that the case for the reporter or the editor? If that is what the coach said that is what the coach said.

I remember some years ago a coach once said that the "IHSA set us up to lose" or something to that fact and said this after a win in the playoffs. Then the coach accused the IHSA of taking officials of a certain race and suggesting that they were bias towards his team that one. And in the game, the coach's team missed like 7 or 8 FTs down the stretch and made a game close. The coach never mentioned that, but the reporter did. And the reporter gave a rather good description of the final minutes and included stats.

If a coach is going to say that, they need to be shown for their comments. Maybe more context should have been shown, but that is their job to state what is said on the record. And the article made it clear he was not just criticizing the officials, but the person that assigned them there. I think that is brilliant on many levels. The coach is the only one to blame in this case.
