Northside ISD investigating incident with official, Jay players (Video)

[jTheUmp]

IF it's determined that the coaching staff had any knowledge that this was going to take place and/or told the players to do it... I would never work a game for those coaches ever again; at that school or at any other school.

Of course, right now there's no evidence that the coaches were involved (or not involved) directly or indirectly. So we'll have to see how the investigation plays out.

This story is hitting all the national outlets now. I've seen references on ESPN, local network news, and MSNBC just this morning.

If the coaching staff had any involvement, not only should they be fired, but they should be charged with conspiracy to commit.

Four players ejected in one game, including two for assaulting an official, there's no way I won't believe there's not a major coaching issue with that school.

I may be slightly heavy handed but if I were in charge around there, I'd be looking to clean house with a big broom.

No different than it'd be if a teacher had students slug a visiting district administrator in the hallway.

Completely agree.

Rest assured that part of the law will be looked at by the state legislature.Regular assault is still a possibility-these kids cannot get off without some sort of criminal prosecution.If that were to happen that school would go on my block list for football immediately.

I'm not sure I'd hold the school responsible if the DA decides not to press charges, it's not the school's fault in that situation.

If the school doesn't bar these two from any further athletic participation, however, then they'd go onto my block list for ALL sports, not just football. That would be a sign that the school administration doesn't support the officials hired to work their games.

If I was the assigner for that school, I wouldn't give them officials.

SC-in any sport or just football? how long? until the department as a whole takes the NFHS sportsmanship course? until that football staff is fired?
