I thought it was this weekend. Any reports?

I saw a forfeit by Silver Grove to Bourbon County on the scoreboard. What happened here??

Bourbon Co.'s Head Coach verbally threatened the Silver Grove players and coach. He used profanity directed right to the Silver Grove players. Told them to get out of his "f" ing locker room and that they were going to get their a** beat after they lost to Bellevue. He then asked me, the head Coach, if i wanted to go outside so he could warm my head up because I said he shouldn't talk to kids, especeially my freshmen and sophmores like that. i will notify KHSAA of his actions. he showed little class the entire tournament refusing to shake hands after the games and storming in the locker room. However his kids and parents who made the drive were class acts.

If :

 

A. You're the head coach of the Grove

B. This really happened

 

then C: I would not just let the KHSAA know. I would have your principal contact the Bourbon principal.

What the heck?

All i can say is WOW!

I have nothing to hide. I can promise I am the Head Coach of Silver Grove. The process is in motion.

I believe the coach was truly upset and made a bad decision and reacted to his emotions. I wish him luck and to better understand it is best to walk away as I tried to do myself. i was protecting my players. The sad thing is that the kids get hurt the most.

This is unbelievable.

Wow!

Needless to say I am hoping they never invite that jerk back to the Tournament. This is an honorable tourney named after longtime Bellevue Head Coach and my coach in HS, Mike Swauger. It normally pits solid small schools against each other and normally the Canadian team makes the trip. They can do without unprofessional coaches who talk like that to kids and promote poor sportsmanship by not shaking hands. I feel sorry for the Bourbon Co kids.

Listen, I truly believe he was caught up in the moment. I do not want the guy to be crucified. We all have made mistakes and only one person judges us and that is Christ. They were the favorite to win the tourney. They lost a very close game in o.t. to Lloyd in which they led for 30 minutes. His kids play hard for him. His best player is hurt and then lost to John McGregor in a game that came down to the last possesion. I spoke to my players in great length about making mistakes and not thinking before you react. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and over react myself. It is a learning moment. My kids accept his apology and understand the situation. May he learn and grow from his mistake.

I say crucify him. There is zero room for that in high school athletics. Jay Bordas, c'mon man!

BGP is the wrong place to report a coach when he acts like that if you don't want him crucified.

Crucified or not, that is ridiculous behavior and should not be tolerated at all. I am sure Coach Hicks will not invite Bourbon Co. back next year. I am glad that as the Silve Grove HC you did not play into this game and act the same way. I understand that people wear their emothions on their sleeves and things can get heated at moments, but to say things like that are absolutely uncalled for and Bourbon Co., should suspend the coach for this behavior. It will be interesting to see how KHSAA handles it.
