Basketball Sportsmanship

[Springsteen#1]

:cry:Elliott County took a giant step back on 02-08-2008 this is not a thread about how one team beat another, its about how one coach has allowed the patients to run the asylum. Elliott IMO is the most talented team in the 16th but, last night Coach Mays allowed his players "this is not an exaggeration" to cry to the officials on every call that went against them an there werent many. But the worst disgrace was the action of #5 when he entered the game he proceded to throw elbows and believe it or not punch a player in the back of the head no foul was called an it is all on tape, finally when a foul was called #5 started tauntng the Rams by pointing from 1 endzone to the other at the scoreboard of course no technical was called. When Coach Mays finally took him out he shook his hand and patted him on the back. As everyone on here knows I enjoy pulling Russell's, East, Ashland, GCHS,etc, chain but I respect my brothers from these schools. If #5 played for any of these coachs he would have been met at halfcourt by his coach an escorted to the locker room and his season would probably be over. IMO its time for the Administration at Elliott to look at its program as good as it is does it want someone who obviously can not teach his players to act like they play with RESPECT.:cry:Russell may have 3-4 wins but I repect Coach Dodd more this morning than I ever have

I have noticed the same thing with Elliot County at Lex. cath holliday tournament. Not a very classy team player wise and for a coach to let that go on as you described is despicable. If this goes on at Mason tuesday you can be assured that the officials will not stand for such behavior.

This year as a whole I have witnessed more poor sportsmanship from players and coaches than I have seen in the past three or four years combined. What is the problem?

I saw the same thing the other night when Elliot played Ashland. No # from Elliot was throwing elbows the whole night. The fans were yelling at the refs to watch #2. Several of the fans which included parents saw the ref plainly say to #2. "Don't worry", I've got you covered. I am not watching." The same ref was calling touch fouls at the other end of the court. What are our 16th region refs teaching these young men who think the own the region. Remember Mr. Ref and players. I like when the refs allow players to play. They just need to do it on both ends and not it get out of hand. "What comes around goes around."
