It happened because on Walton's first possession we shot the ball and missed and I believe Simpson got the rebound and was fouled in the act of shooting, and they called it on the floor (non shooting foul). Walton took ball out of bounds and Ison was fouled and nothing was called. I believe the coach assumed at that point on what direction the game was going from there. I do feel he wanted to get the technical but did not intent on him and the ref making contact for an ejection. Both teams played well, seemed that it gave Walton a little fuel to build on after getting down by 10 or so early in the game.

Well then it's clearly Ison's fault! If she was trained a little better, she would have finished through contact and none of this would have happened!!!! I think Coach Clink should punish her by sitting her for the Highlands game! :ylsuper:

I talked to the coaches. They will punish Ison and sit her for the Highlands game if you can get Highlands to sit Coffee, Adler, Leigh, Combs, Graves and Barth. And one other thing...one of the coach's has to get a technical and get ejected. That way we have lots to talk about that next week... Deal?

Deal! Although I'm not sure I could survive all that drama on here!!

Clink is a passionate coach but there is No way he would ever intentionally bump a ref.[/QUOT

 

He did, and threw his arm toward the ref in anger. The ref was taken off guard, turned and gave him the T. Clink was standing mid court on the brass plate that holds the volleyball posts. There is no reason at all for him or any coach to be out that far on the court. He knew the ref was walking backwards while watching the play. He stepped right in front of Ref as the Ref was running backwards. Its unfortunate, tempers fly in the passion and heat of the moment, you always want your players to know you are fighting for them if you think your team has been wronged, but the T was justified.

Ugh. Ugh. and Ugh again.

 

It would be wise to be absolutely sure of details and the order of the details before you make such a judgment. I am 100% sure of the following.... The absence of some details, the rearranging of listed details in order of occurrence, and a slight personal interpretation causes what you have posted to be incorrect and misleading.

 

You might reply with, "I was there. Saw it first hand." I understand that, however, it is very true that even if one was there first hand, there is NO WAY anyone could have noticed and remembered every detail in perfect order enough to make a PURE, untainted conclusion. I was there, saw it first hand myself, and I am telling you that when I watched it on film, what I thought I saw, and the details I thought were true, were not fully correct and not exactly what happened in the order it happened. I did not even initially see the very first part of it simply because I was still watching play on the court.

 

All I am saying is that even if someone was there, seeing it first hand from somewhere in the gym. Yes that would be enough to share some details from where you were sitting, but NO it would never be enough to conclude intent, and make a final judgment like you have done.

 

I don't mean any malice toward you at all...I just intend to take a stand against what I know to be incorrect.

 

 

Back to the game....Morgan Simpson is playing very well. Girl is getting after it!

Then that's for you to figure out where I was, what I saw, and how I saw it. This is a forum of opinions, the game itself, the players, the coaches, how they perform and act representing their school. I gave mine and that's it. You can take a stand all you want, I saw what I saw, repeatedly, over and over again, so you can take that for what it is. The FACT is he was standing at mid court right on the brass plate. Regardless if WE/PEOPLE on here think he threw his chest towards the ref intentionally or not, he DID swing his arm towards the ref after being T'd up. He should have never been there, no matter what, PERIOD! The incident and T would have never occurred if he would have followed the rules and stayed where he is supposed to be by rule. Behaviors like this should not be tolerated in any sport by anyone, PERIOD!

 

At a recent game, one the the premier freshman guards (not from any of these schools) who is being looked at by many D1 schools got a foul called on her, on her way to the bench, she told the ref to "F-OFF", so she got T'd up. Totally un-classy and I am sure that will get out to the D1 schools. Unfortunate yes, stupid, yes, uncalled for yes! You think the colleges are not looking at schools, coaches, athletes hard. A reflection of the athletes are also from the coach. They look at Facebook, they look at Twitter, they look at Snap Chat, they look at Instagram, and most of all performance and how they handle themselves on the court of play. They look for anything that would be questionable and reason not to offer that money to someone if they do not feel they fit their programs integrity.

 

No malice towards you at all.....I take a stand on the integrity of sports and what I know to be correct, the rules. As BGP is a sight of integrity, that's why everyone has code names to hide behind who they are, what they know, and what they don't know.

 

Back to reality!

Simpson has been on fire and so has Ms. Ison. They are playing well.

IMO Walton has to have more consistant play from Mills and Dezarn.

Many reasons why coaches should never be on the floor. Here's another perspective. Player turns around to start running the fastbreak and runs into coach that he/she didn't expect to be there, falls awkwardly and is injured...now what. He's lucky it was the referee who didn't see him and not a small point guard. There is simply no defense for the move, no matter what the intent.

 

Has KHSAA made ruling on the length of suspension? I know it is 3 games minimum but this situation would seem like it could have different consequences.

According to KHSAA, it is 3 games.

I don't condone Coach Clink's actions. He does appear excited, makes contact with the ref and out of his coaching box. So he is in the wrong and I'm sure he is aware of that.

 

However, I know that Coach Clink is a stand up guy and a super person. I also know how passionate the man is about his program and his kids. This is why I would never judge a coach on one action. Basketball is a fast sport with many emotions going all over the place and a lot of moving parts in a short period of time. As a high school coach, you typically don't care about your record or whether you get attention, it's all about the kids. You watch these kids work their tails off and you want it for them. Sometimes you want it more than them because you know the gratification of success and you want your kids to experience it. You want it so bad for them that your passion can overtake good judgement. Is it right...no. But I'm sure Coach Clink would be the first one to tell you he was in the wrong. But to judge him on one incident where he is playing a heated game against a regional rival is not really fair. Coaches are put in the spotlight because of their role. And they chose to do that. They open the door to judgment. But everyone that judges need to look in their closet and ask themselves..."are there any actions in my life that I would take back if I had an opportunity?" Everyone has skeletons in the closet!

 

I'm 100% confident Coach Clink will accept his punishment and be back in the saddle and all will be right in WV!

Isn't that contradictory? If they open the door to be judged, then they accept being judged. So everyone that judges doesn't need to look at their own closet, they opened themselves to it. "He who has no sin, cast the first stone" But if you stand in a position of authority, be ready to shield the boulders of criticism.

 

Isn't that what BGP is about, opinions, judgments? We attack others for what they do in situations, but back off on others, its a double standard. Plenty of examples within each of the threads on here.

 

And for the record I wasn't judging, I was stating a fact in what happened and why he got what he got, intentional or not, heat of the moment or not, don't put yourself in that position, period. We all have opportunities in life to show our character. It was unfortunate, he is a good guy, but there are many many people in life that are great people, do things they regret after, but it's too late, they end up losing their job, jail, or even worse. So don't put yourself in that position if you don't want criticized and no one will be looking in your closet. My skeleton doesn't care and is out doing what he wants, he's transparent. Nothing but love to you RCC9, but even through these threads some people are not consistent with their arguments and talk from both sides of their mouths.

No no no. That wasn't directed at you. It was a general statement about him and coaching in general. We sign up for it for sure and everyone has their opinion. I'm just saying good coaches get their passion from their kids and it's hard for me to judge them when I know that's true. And I know that's true with coach Clink. Rules are rules and we should all abide by them, especially in front of kids. But I can give some a pass when it's not a trend.

 

As for me, I typically don't judge until it becomes a trend. When you do something more than two to three times in a short period of time, then I'm in!
