January 19, 201610 yr Two years in a row the IHSAA has ended seasons for ugly fights. Pike, Ben Davis girls basketball seasons, including tournament, canceled
January 19, 201610 yr I'm ok with it, you simply can't have multiple player fights along with spectators fighting on the court. I agree it's harsh, but you have to draw a line in the sand before someone gets seriously hurt or worse.
January 19, 201610 yr I'm not sure the penalty is too stiff... We're talking bench and stand clearing brawls according to the article. Not just two girls who get into it. You can't condone that type of atmosphere.
January 19, 201610 yr I think probation would be a better penalty for the first offense but that's just me.
January 19, 201610 yr Probation for a player or 2 I could see. But reading the article makes it sound much more than a punch or slap. These incidents always reminds me of the Pacer incident. Left unchecked hs ball could get really bad. You mix a few drinks with 6 or 7 future pro's parents and you got yourself a brawl. Edited January 19, 201610 yr by TexasRanger add word
January 19, 201610 yr Author Article on a girl who already has a scholarship. Pike senior Robinson not involved in fight, but season over
January 19, 201610 yr That wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. They should suspend the stomper in red, give the teams probation and not ruin the entire season for the kids who weren't involved. Dumb decision, IMO.
January 19, 201610 yr Ending seasons is too stiff of a penalty for fighting. Especially when it seems the penalty doesn't scare anybody enough to prevent it from happening again.
January 19, 201610 yr Author I will be curious to see if either/both schools take legal action like the two boys' teams did last year.
January 19, 201610 yr I'm going to guess the pressure applied to these schools via parents and alumni will be overwhelming. Thus they will both take legal action.
January 19, 201610 yr Probation for a player or 2 I could see. But reading the article makes it sound much more than a punch or slap. These incidents always reminds me of the Pacer incident. Left unchecked hs ball could get really bad. You mix a few drinks with 6 or 7 future pro's parents and you got yourself a brawl. Hilarious.......well played.
January 19, 201610 yr ^^^^^^ Just like the middle school brawl last week, I'd be willing to bet you got parents their who genuinely think coach Cal is coming to recruit their kid. There's no gym in America were you don't have future nba'ers, just ask mom. Edited January 19, 201610 yr by TexasRanger add word
