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.

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.

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?

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

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.

Don't be an AH. I can say 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?

Then he was laughing about it in the box when they were sorting out either an ejection or 2 min non releasable. The laughing and cuss word I heard then angered the Riverside coach. Which then prompted a meeting with both coaches and Indy and Riverside ADs. Not sure what was said. I saw the hit on NFHS stream and if that’s not an ejectable hit then I am not sure what is. Completely uncalled for and unsafe. Kind of ruined the end of the game and just left a sour taste throughout the stadium. Unfortunate situation.

I just watched it. It is pretty bad. Not surprising though. Team has no discipline.

Kid didn’t even have the ball. It was behind the play and to the head. That’s why I think it should have been ejectable it had nothing to do with the game. Does anyone know if that kid is ok? He tried to get up and then fell back down.

Fortunately the kid was fine and didn't have any lingering affects that night (DS is a friend of his).

Good Lord this happened again? just watched the video - it's WAY beyond regular action and kid was as defenseless at it gets. What is with this program?? And how aren't there more severe actions other than a "meeting" after the game? Clearly coaching staff that encourages (certainly doesn't discourage) this cheap shot crap. If I was coaching in this district, I'd refuse to play these clowns.

Anonymous wrote:What was also bad was around 3-4 min left in the game. #1 from Indy threw a stick check to the groin of a Riverside player off-ball. The ref saw it and called a penalty which led to Riversides last goal that made it 10-6. I could be wrong but isn’t this the same player that got suspended already this year?
