Who's right and who's wrong?

Was the coach outta line, or was the player being a little biatch?

What do you think?

[ray666]

who cares?

lol jk. i only watched the first few seconds of the vid. The kid fell like a bitch if you asked me. Did not bother watching the rest of the video.

peace.

Coach was wrong to push the player. But when you post up, you gotta be able to take contact. The player was a bitch, and took it way too far by filing a police report. If he can't take that, he needs to get his ass off the court.Not only that, he didn't try to fight for that ball like he should have. He fell almost as bad as soccer players who fake injuries.

[EmperorIS]

what a little bitch

[ilvtofu]

I don't think coach was lying that the shove was unintentionally agressive but the kick was nothing... kid is just trying to take advantage of the fact that it was caught on video, if he didn't know there was a tape he wouldn't have given a crap

[E-40six]

I found it funnier that Holy Family University lost to the University of the sciences the next game :troll:

[unreal_civic]

i actually watched that whole video, id say kid is the biggest pussy ever, man up accept the apology and leave it at that. what he wants from all this is the coach to lose his job fucking idiot

[i-vtecyo]

Someone should recommend him into the chess club.Honestly, if he cant take a push and a nudge, he shouldnt have joined basketball in the first place. Also he said that hes was injured from that push and cannot play anymore.. i call bs.

[alpinestars]

LOL the kid was fighting back tears at the end of the vid! :fullofwin:

[rslater]

I actually sided more with the kid. Mostly because I take a look at the pressure applied by coaches to non professional athletes. I hated how basketball coaches in high school made basketball the only priority in our lives.

[justYU]

woww.. what a lil bitch.

[roflwaffle604]

i remember back in my gr.10 year our coach (also basketball) was teaching our bigs to chin the ball and use your elbows to clear space and if someone is sticking their head in your space then you have the right to hit them. he actually hit one of the bigs on the team during a demonstration. guy had a bloody nose. also toughened the fuck up and eventually turned into a starter.

coach was right, and that player is just a bitch (as everyone has been saying)

[Nightwalker]

Coach was ragin', looks like this isn't the first incident.

The kid was blindsided, I don't think the coach was in the drill.

[parm104]

College basketball is an OPTION, it is NOT a requirement. If someone wants to play for a particular team, the coach runs the show. If he is running a drill where he feels your intensity, drive and strength will become accelerated, then I'm pretty sure, that is for the best.

Why on EARTH, would a Coach purposely injure one of his own players!? Based on the video, the kid looks like a pussy and shouldn't be playing post. He's barely boxing out and the only advantage he seems to have is height. If the coach is pushing him to be more aggressive, then he sure as hell should take the drill and learn from it.

Yes, perhaps the coach may have hit him in the face but that was most certainly not his intention...Again, no one in their right mind would injure their own player. I mean, clearly this kid is not excelling in the team. If I was in a competitive basketball team and something like this happened, I would've dealt with it within the team itself. Sending an email to the athletic director asking for some sort of action to be taken against the coach?! I mean come on, who in their right mind, would have their coach be punished when they are attempting to play competitively in a league? How do you expect to prosper without your coach being there?

Instead of filing a lawsuit, perhaps the kid should reflect upon his shitty playing, take out his tampon and ask the coach to come back and teach him how to play basketball like a man.

I wonder if these actions would've taken place at a Non-Catholic/Secular University?

A basketball coach's priority IS basketball...That is his profession. I don't think any player would want it any other way? In an ideal world, the game should be the coach's priority.

High School basketball is an option you make and if the team dynamics and structure was something that you did not agree with, you simply shouldn't play. Again, competitive athletes who have thrived on their teams would 10x out of 10 disagree with you.

LOL imagine Kobe going up to Phil Jackson and saying "You're trying to make us too competitive, we want to have FUN COACH! Basketball isn't life you know! You should try raping underage girls in Colorado, it was more fun than play basketball!" - Kobe

the women's team called.. they also said GTFO

[The_AK]

minute into the video, looks like the coach is the bitch when he starts bawwing on camera

[StylinRed]

dudes a bitch

is it just me or could the coach pass for the students dad?

[Greenstoner]

he play balls ?

he should grow a pair first

[GLOW]

this kid wouldnt last a second playing on a playground court in east van

:troll:

[GabAlmighty]

Hahahaha, oh Basketball. What a pussy sport.

I've been knocked upside the head more times than I can remember in Lacrosse. Even in Soccer, especially if the coach was doing the drill with us.

not anymore I think

I'm beginning to wonder if true basketball has gone to the extent of bastardization. Sometimes I can't tell the difference if I'm watching basketball, or football using a basketball.

[AzNightmare]

^ Really? I admit I haven't watched basketball in a long time, but isn't the tolerance for
body contact really limited or a foul is called?

It's funny how the coach couldn't answer the question directly and confused the host.
He clearly thought it was justified, but had to apologize just to make things easier because the player was being a pussy.
He just kept throwing the word "accident" around.

I think the coach lost his composure, and decided to take it out on the student physically (since I don't see how that shove had anything to do with the drill). But I think the direct apology and the team apology should have been left there. The kid went overboard with this drama.

Why are you commenting if you haven't watched? GTFO.

Shaq popularized more contact with his style of backing down defenders, so now it happens too often in the post. I play in a couple rec leagues and it is awful how much contact there is - then watch the better mens leagues in the city and notice how much cleaner the game is.

[bloodmack]

TBH, bball players need a lil toughening up, so just consider it a step in the right direction.

[GabAlmighty]

Are you allowed to run at people and take them down? No. So gtfo.

[ajax]

There's still too many calls on minor contact. Thanks to like Chris Bosh and other fake tough guys.

LOL at Christine Brennan.
stupid female. WTF does she know about anything? Woman play way more dirty than man anyways?
I didn't watch the whole thing, but the reporter that interviews the coach is a douche too. The kick wasn't even anything.. This guy just looks like a bitch

This guy is a little bitch.
And why the hell would this guy go to the other practices if he was so emotionally or physically hurt?

[jaebomb]

what a fagg! he didnt even kick him

Why are you so butthurt from me asking a question?

Are you saying contact is more lenient now (refs allow it), or that people are just playing more dirty (and getting called for it)?
Two different things.

Wuss.

[skylinergtr]

probably the kid has lack of confidence and bad experiences with the school and team mates. Personally i dont think he's trying to make a personal attack at the coach, but mainly it is directed at the school.

I'll put it this way. I hate the school im in currently. The faculty is garbage and I feel a lack of support for the money I pay to get an education. I am not low on self-esteem but if any teacher/coach/etc tries to disrespect me and physically abuses me. You bet your ass i'm going to take them down for the principal of the matter.

I side with you guys, that the kid presents himself off as being a little bitch, but the coaches actions are wrong. Just plain wrong. If you're trying to toughen your players then as commented before, make them play until they puke. The coach has no reason to have a violent outburst on any student. What we dont know if this is intentional to this particular student? was this a bad coach/student relationship? Personally i think the coach is chode and wasn't answering questions properly. He's sorry, but he doesn't regret his actions. If any of this wasn't happening now. He might have been making more physical attacks.

Just my own honest opinion.
