[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was pretty close to it.  I think the Riverside coaches frustration was that no one on the Indy bench (coaches) really reacted to it at all. The video feed they are just standing with their arms crossed.  I don’t see anyone going up to 43 and mediating what had just happened.  [/quote]

I am Riverside supporter (so I may be bias, I understand that), but our players never do anything close to that. If one of our players even make a bad penalty, which is VERY rare, coach takes him out of the game and there are consequences. Earlier in the 4th quarter (before this hit took place), #1 for Indy, received a 1 minute un-releasable penalty for hitting one of our players in the groin area, with his stick, away from the play. He was then put back in the game after his time was served. It is my belief that this is the same player that attacked a Broad Run player after the game a few weeks ago. How is this behavior acceptable by the Indy administration, coaches, and their PARENTS? Its unacceptable. [/quote]

There are good kids and parents associated with Indy.  The actions of a couple kids and the coach is hurting the perception of the program and it’s unfortunate. [/quote]

Then why don't the good kids and parents step up, and end this stuff? Because you are correct, it makes the entire Indy community look like trash. Have a meeting, demand consequences and change, be adults. What if the Riverside player (or other players) got severely injured because of this behavior, would it still be "oh, that's just their style of play". What if the role was reversed, and it was your Indy player (son) being attacked out of the context of the game, would it be ok then? [/quote]

I hate to say it, but as a Loudoun parent, Loudoun County is going to sweep everything they can under the rug.  The less paperwork they send in, the better the county looks....

No one liked the Detroit Pistons either but they won.  Coach is playing chess and getting the other team off their game.  This plan could lead to a state title  [/quote]

fine, but if this is a team strategy that everyone has bought into, nobody can say there are kids or parents on the team who aren't trash.[/quote]

Don't be an AH. [b]I can say [/b]that there are people that are there that are not trash. Also, I can say that there are people there that are trash. What is the recourse? 
I was told that several parents have spoken to the AD about this and other things that have gone on with that team that you don't even know about as I have not seen it mentioned yet. The parents (some of them are good people and not trash) are more than frustrated. They want the coach disciplined and preferably gone.

Instead of throwing accusations about people you don't even know, how about offering some solutions. What do you suggest they do? I offered a sympathetic ear, but I don't know what else they can do.
I can tell you they are embarrassed about this and more as I have spoken to them first hand via our club team. I was told they spoke to the AD and it seemed to be a dead end.
Beyond picking up their family and moving to a new school district or denying their son a chance to play- what do you have to suggest?
