Therein lies the point. We ALL want high school sports to be a positive impact on the community; that includes coaches. The HS journalist wanted a simple discussion. A point in time when an adult could make amends, convey some humility, and present the perception of righting a wrong when given the ultimate audience; not any journalist or parent. The school newspaper kid! Instead he got, "No comment. We are moving on."
Just like Bball622. "Haha.OK."
What the community wants is something more from its leaders. Saying it's "locker room talk" is deflecting.
Try this. "I'm posting this in response to the (school) journalist who wanted comment on my actions during the ( ) game. Firstly, let me apologize to (that) QB. What I did was in poor taste and not reflective of the respect players deserve and earned volunteering, especially QBs-as they have immense responsibilities to their teammates, coaches, and the whole school- to play the sport I am so passionate about. Secondly, let me say I am sorry to my players. They look to me to be the most respected of leaders. I did not exemplify that. I've expressed my regret to the Administration of my actions. I have assured them it will NEVER happen again and have signed an agreement that should it happen a second time, my resignation will be immediate. Lastly, I ask for forgiveness from both schools parents. I am expected to hold myself to higher standards, and I let you down. You have granted me a most delicate of tasks; to mold, support and protect the physical and psychological well-being of your most valuable asset. I was careless. Moving forward, I will still try to win games, but not at all costs to you or your kids."
Or just be another Donald, which is SOP.
No whistle to show this around. 6:00 comes soon enough. Now, back to the OP...GATA.
