No suspensions?

[ThrowBones92]

The law is the law and

This threads reminds me of why I disliked being a HS principal so much. Rules were rules, they are in the handbook, board policy, laws, etc. But have a kid violate one of them and I would hear many of the same arguments and justifications for the actions. To contrast, at a private school, I rarely had to take such actions, just call parents and they took care of things like formerly were done in days gone by.

Every place of work is different and I know this isn't employment but at many places you get in trouble outside of work, you also pay the price at work. So I don't know what the big deal is if the coaches did or do something. And even if they don't, that is their call and they will have to be consistent with all players.

If the rules are the rules, but every situation doesn't have a consequence explicitly attached to it, then Riley can handle the situation the way he thinks is best for the kid and for the program and not be running the team contrary to the rules. If I didn't trust Mike Riley, I'd probably want to know more about this. As for now, I trust his judgement leading the program on and off the field. That is good enough for me. I don't need to know what he did or how he handled it, and I don't need to see suspensions to feel better about it.

Well aware of what Pope Tom had going on under his watch. Which is why I think it is chicken **** that certain people refused to be interviewed. The truth is the truth

Who "refused to be interviewed" ??

If they stay out of trouble and learn from this, that is more important than missing a game. If they do not learn, then your coach needs to make a hard decision and not just one game. They know already know what will happen if they screw up again. Let them play and hope for the best for the kids.
