KFDM COOP Posted April 26, 2008 Report Posted April 26, 2008 The University Interscholastic League recently sent a strong message to coaches in regard to what they say about officials. Fort Worth Southwest basketball coach Scott Gray, after his team dropped an 80-77 decision to Dallas South Oak Cliff at the state tournament, was quoted as saying. “I wish the game could have been officiated by officials used to a faster pace, like Houston, Dallas or Fort Worth, not someone from Amarillo.†The UIL’s response was to suspend Gray for one year .
shooter Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 What's the message? No freedom of speech allowed, the UIL is the almighty authority, we (the UIL) can impose any penalty we want and you have no recourse. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS RULING AND THINKS IT SETS A BAD PRECEDENCE.
Bucof2010 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Posted April 27, 2008 That's a pretty ridiculous penalty especially since he didn't say anything bad.
team first Posted April 28, 2008 Report Posted April 28, 2008 What a joke....It's a wish..not bashing, but only a thought. No cursing was done and speaking out of feeling about the officiating..officials and uil authorities should find something else to do, I've noticed lately that some officials have a little chip on their shoulder....Let me say this, we have to have officials ,but the officiating in our area needs some serious improvement. We have a handful of quality officials, but our bmt. chapter has real issues.

24 over par Posted May 17, 2008 Report Posted May 17, 2008 that was too strong of a penalty no matter what he said no one was attacked only a little steam was let off
