I hope the father goes to jail.

UPDATE: Father, son arrested following postgame assault of baske - wave3.com-Louisville News, Weather & Sports

I hope the father goes to jail.

 

They both may. News reports that the son is 18. Both arrested.

Sad, sad news.. This kid played for Ballard his freshman & sophomore years, then transferred to Doss because he didn't make the Varsity cut. I guess he now he not really in Coach Williams rotation, so father got mad...

 

Yeah,,,I guess he transferred to better his education..Khsaa needs to step up to the plate, along with coaches and school administrations...

Picture of father looks very familiar. Can anyone verifiy if this guy did/didn't coach Kentucky Retros 16U AAU team a couple years back?

yes... Coach & Son are involved with the Retros...

yes... Coach & Son are involved with the Retros...

 

Thought so. Don’t know what happened in Trinity game incident, but both have instigated this kind of stuff before, including the father attacking my 16 year old son when my son was trying to separate one of our players from the son after the son instigated an attack against one of our players in the handshake line.

What’s your point? In a 5 year AAU career of well over 250 games we ran into one idiot team. From reading this thread it seems the same problem exists in the schools, certainly more fights in eastern Ky gyms than at AAU events. The kids have more fun with their travel teams, get to choose a coach that treats them well, and pick a team appropriate to their ability level so they get to play. Be glad to debate it with you in another thread.

No debate here,,you're the one who pointed out the father was an AAU coach..

Indeed he was. But I still ask, what’s your point? He is also many other things, a fan in the stands, a parent, a man, middle aged, etc. Why do you single out the AAU connection? He was an outlier there and appears to be an outlier here.

 

You appear to be making a general statement about AAU basketball based on a specific instance. Arguing from the universal to the specific is valid, but from the specific to the universal is not. What's your point?

Hopefully Doss can put this behind them and come together to do well the remainder of the season. It sounds like it may be a case of "addition by subtraction."
