OKCPS Calling On OSSAA After 3A Quarterfinals Game

I'd like to see this part get more attention. Bringing this from another forum:

"This is my local association that this crew belongs to. While nothing excuses the misapplication of the rule, there is something that isn't being reported by the news nor the state association.

As a side note, the coach did not question the enforcement, just the actual call itself.

Following the foul, the Head Coach for the offending team physically threatened the LJ several times and after being ejected, refused to leave the field. As the officials were leaving the field, the HC was following after them screaming. He was saying that they better hope they have an escort cause he was gonna kill them. As the officials were entering the locker room a fan sucker punched the H (who coincidentally is a local police officer). The HC then started banging on the locker room door demanding that they come out and take their beating. The school prinicipal also told them to get out of the locker room as they were no longer welcome. The AD actually had to "protect" the crew until the police arrived.

This has actually shined a massive light on the fact that the state and host school provided ZERO security for the crew. We are waiting for school to get back in session to see what administrators do in response."
