taterhill Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 There is no way he did not see this beforehand....would be funny if a cop in town pulled him over for going 31 in a 30 mph speed zone Stay Classy Coach
duey Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 She's hot and he's a jackass. That kind of "coaching" does nothing to teach sportsmanship to the kids. It was all about having a big shiny trophy for his desk. The "man" is clearly compensating for an inadequacy elsewhere.
Booster4324 Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Monrovia athletic director Randy Bell: Wrong! Knowles! What is best in life? Mike Knowles: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women.

I would take no pride in that sort of "victory." The guy should be fired.
Beerball Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 What a shame. I sent an email to the superintendent. She probably won't read it but at least I feel better.
Bullpen Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 D-bag. His quote is "You've got to teach her that rules are rules." LAMP time: In high school, we were playing Silver Creek HS (Beerbawl's Alma Mater go figure) . There was a little known rule back in the 80's that all bats had to have a ring of tape 18 inches up the handle of the bat (to ensure pine tar isn't over used... thanks George Brett). I come to the plate and hit a double to drive in two runs to take the lead. Silver Creek's coach comes the plate, shows the umpire that the bat I used didn't have the ring of tape and the umpire had to rule the hit (and runs) didn't count and I was out. Eff you Coach Janisch!

taterhill Posted May 12, 2010 Author Posted May 12, 2010 that was soooooooooooooo different You went to Silver Creek? My Cousin is the Varsity Lacrosse Coach there...nice program
UConn James Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I don't understand the reason for the rule in the first place. What competitive advantage does wearing jewelry have?
CountDorkula Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 "I didn't notice the bracelet until after she cleared the height and walked by," he insisted. "[i had] a sinking feeling for her. I didn't want to have to do it. But it's a real rule -- it's in the book -- not something I made up. About 10 years ago, I had a girl who wore an earring in the 4x400 relay and it ended up costing us a CIF title. I feel bad for what happened, but I guarantee you she'll never wear jewelry during a track meet again." He saw it, but he did not have to report it. What a whiny b ch. If i was anyone at that school i would not celebrate that victory. The Ultimate D-bag. Good job coach.
erynthered Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I don't understand the reason for the rule in the first place. What competitive advantage does wearing jewelry have? Maybe an injury? A bracelet or necklace got/gets caught in some kind of apparatus in the past?
dhg Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I trained last year to be a track official, although never ended up doing it because schedule for the real job changed and I couldn't adjust to do it. You would be surprised at all the crazy rules that there are for high school track regarding jewelry, clothing, etc. Rule of thumb though for the official involved is to kindly ask the athlete to remove the jewelry. Now I am not defending what the coach in question did by any means because I wouldn't/couldn't have done what he did, but the girl should have known better.
TheMadCap Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Maybe an injury? A bracelet or necklace got/gets caught in some kind of apparatus in the past? Probably so. God, what the hell is the world coming to? I am not looking forward to the time when my son starts playing sports because of **** like this...
dib Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Is a string bracelet jewelry? Here in Habana Norte, a girls flag football coach reached out into the field of play and pulled the flag off of an opposing player that was running down the sideline for a touchdown. He denied doing it until a photo of him pulling the flag showed up in the newspaper.
Steely Dan Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 At the very most the refs should have made her remove it and try again. The coach is a baby. I think everyone should send him a box of Pampers.
KD in CA Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Someone really needs to give that dude's house the Coach Nickerson treatment.
Beerball Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 Maybe an injury? A bracelet or necklace got/gets caught in some kind of apparatus in the past? IMO definitely the reason. Player safety.
Beerball Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 You went to Silver Creek? My Cousin is the Varsity Lacrosse Coach there...nice program I did, but well before Lacrosse.
Steely Dan Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I found a picture of the coach Mike Knowles; Linky
Bullpen Posted May 12, 2010 Posted May 12, 2010 I did, but well before Lacrosse. Hell, when you went to Silver Creek, Native Americans were playing lacrosse as a way to settle tribal difference still. ... and it wasn't different. My bat DIDN'T have a bracelet and the pole vaulter DID.
