Shocked it took this long, but into the world of high-school sports we go for another coach who needs never to be around sports again.
Pennsbury and Neshaminy are two Pennsylvania high schools who played last night, and Jerry Devine, the head coach of Neshaminy, didn't like a late charge call, and promptly assaulted the referee in so doing...
The Deadspin article I originally found this at refers to a better video from WBCB Radio, a sports-radio station in Pennsylvania, who took this video of the game, including of the incident.
The blog software does not seem to agree with the streaming site used, Livestream, so I'll pop a link it to the WBCB video here.
Devine has been placed on administrative leave and faces possible criminal charges.
To which I say, screw that garbage.
The rules need to be simple:
Any assault on a game official results in:
1) Immediate forfeiture of that game.
2) Immediate forfeiture of all future contests (at the time an assault is confirmed) until the sanctioning body completes the investigation to determine if there's a larger problem at the school.
3) All assaulting parties are immediately arrested, and any affiliated with the schools, fired.
