Red Card Thusc Coach

[Unregistered]

I'll tell you the reason; it's because the the THUSC teams always seem to be under the microscope. On this forum especially. If it was a WSM or ESUFC team, nobody would care or comment. And you can't tell me it's only the THUSC players/parents that are rude/disrespectful. I've played against them all and every team has them.

Agreed. I have heard horrible comments from the SSC and ESUFC parents. Way worse then anything I've heard from THUSC.

At a U12G game a SSC girl punched a THUSC girl in the jaw and was saying terrible things to her. Talk about bad sportsmanship.

Seriously, parents and players for all clubs act this way. It isn't limited to one club.

Back to topic: I heard the coach in question recieved many of these red cards at tournaments oustide of season and board didn't know about it until brought to their attention. Respect to the club for suspending a coach during State Cup. NOt sure of too many other clubs that would do it.

This reminded me of a tournament we played in down in Cali. We played a team from Minnesota. None of the teams/parents in Oregon could hold a candle to this team. Those parents would yell directly AT our coach and players. Their players were the dirtiest I have ever seen. In their play and from their mouths. It was literally unbelievable.

How long is suspension

I have heard he has 8 red cards and is suspnded.. Thusc isn't "sweeping it under the rug" they are proactively suspending their own coach who has potential to win, but at what cost?

How long is suspension? Is OPL suspending the coach? I would suspend him for at least a year. 9 red card is unheard of and would requires some anger management for this coach. Probably a little ego tone down would help.

Luckily for THUSC most of his red cards did not come from league play but out of state tournaments. I hope he is disciplined approapriately as the behaviour needs to stop.

The course that THUSC takes will let you know the integrity of the Club. What message are they TRULY sending out to the kids. It should not matter if this is a winning coach or not. What should matter is the message that he is sending to the his players - this is the most impressionable times of their lives. To ignore a punishment in a way that that is recognizable to the players is naive and will only be reaffirming that winning is more important than ethics or integrity.

I hope for the kids sake, that an example be made and message will be shared with this situation.

Heard about an appeal

I heard that THUSC was appealing MJ being suspended by OPL because the other Red Card were out of state tournament.

I am not sure that is the right thing to do. Not hating anyone, but why defend this volume of red cards.

No kidding, how is that even possible to get that many red cards? Most coaches have to work hard to get one red card. What a joke.

THUSC isn't apealing the coach in quetion is. He is still suspended from the club.

AMEN! Teach the kids responsibility for your own actions! Stop whining about the just consequences you get for your mistakes, learn from them, and get on with life.

It would be nice but his ego won't let him. He is appealing to the OPL. He has a hearing later this week.
