Sure looks like all ball to me

Basketball refs are horrible. There's no other sport where they call anticipatory fouls more than actual fouls. I can't watch more than a game a week, it's too infuriating and so much of the game is decided by the officials, more than any other sport.

Your daughter has not been repeatedly punched in the face by another person and you just sat there and watched. It's really easy to sit there and virtue signal when you've never been in that sitiation.

I think you have to let the refs and coaches break it up. Even if you're running down there to pull your kid off the other one, their parents are gonna take it as piling on. They'll jump in there too, then it snowballs from there. You just have to try to contain yourself, but that would be almost impossible if you see other parents diving into the scrum.

I don't have a kid, but if I did, I wouldn't be throwing hands with another kid who was hitting my kid. Now, I might be tempted to throw hands with their parent, but I'm not throwing hands with a child.

 

[SoilVol]

I would most certainly sit there and watch…. My daughter has been in altercations on the court…. The refs and police will clean it up….. if an adult ran down after my daughter…. Then I would be coming out of the stands and we would be both going to jail.

Parents should absolutely stay out of it. Nothing good comes from a parent entering the playing area for any reason other than their child being severely injured.

Parents always escalate the confrontation. Keep it between the athletes, coaches, and security. I've had some altercations during wrestling matches and soccer games. All settled quickly by refs (or separation by teammates in soccer) and it's over. If a parent had run out it would've gotten bad. I've seen parents run onto mats because they think their child is being hurt and try to pull other kids off and get in the face of the ref. It's never good.

The only way I'd get involved as a parent is if other parents get involved and put hands on my child and they'd clearly be overwhelmed. At that point it's no longer about the game.

If Fulton fans/parents have been involved in this type of behavior multiple times then at minimum the TSSAA should bar those parents, potentially the athletes themselves, from competition. And it sounds like this athlete that started the fray has some serious issues and takes after her mom.

Whose kids we beating up? I'll bring my nunchucks

Yep…. I agree…. I have coached multiple teams and it’s never good when the parents get involved.

I'd pick somewhere that still had all the creature comforts but had far less people. I find most people suck when you have to deal with them directly.

I need a climatologist to tell me the best East coastal town to move to. Where it won’t drop below 40-50 degrees. Could that be Hilton Head in the future? There are some positives to a warming earth.

Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach.

The combine should be the weekend before the draft. How far apart are the combine and draft? 6 weeks?

Teams like them being further apart so they can go and interview players they are interested…. I knew the Steelers were going to draft George Pickens bc they made no secret how enamored they were with him. It almost had me thinking it was a smoke screen.

 

[Weezer]

Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach.

I was caught in a blizzard in Wilmington once. I want to say it was 1989. Could have been 1990. Not really sure, but I remember snow on the beach.

This was it.

I still can't believe some people argued this Tennessee bball team was better than grant and admiral.

 

[drvenner]

Anyone seen any more video of this…. Apparently a Lenoir City girl got fouled hard and had an altercation with some Fulton girls…. Fulton parents jumped in against the Lenoir city girl…. Three players kicked out and all fans removed and they finished the game…. Not sure if those facts are accurate.

As a Fulton High grad, this is all on Lenoir City, IMO.

Only downside is then you lose the Pro Days that allow players like Princeton Fant who I don't think was invited to the Combine to showcase their talents, as well as give those who had a bad Combine a chance to workout again.

 

[drvenner]

That's the second fight that I've heard of this season where Fulton parents started a fight with the opposing teams players

Now what am I supposed to do? I already tried to throw Lenoir City under the bus.



Seriously, no excuse for that crap. Stay in the stands or be banned from all future competitions.

By another player…. It can’t go on for more than a few seconds….The refs, cops, coaches, other players will break it up….. Not to mention, my daughter knows how to stand up for herself… she doesn’t need daddy to protect her…… I have coached travel basketball….travel Baseball… middle school soccer, middle school football…. Parents are the worse…. Don’t get involved in something that is between the athletes on the court.

That’s you in the video, isn’t it?

I'm a Fulton grad, and it sounds like it's on Fulton. Parents going after a player is wrong on so many levels. Criminal charges could be coming.

Absolutely. When your child joins a team as a parent you are choosing to trust the coaches to be in charge of them during practices, games, travel, etc. That includes altercations, injuries or anything else negative that occurs. If you can't or won't trust the coaches, then remove them from the team. Honestly, "Daddy Ball" is a lot bigger problem than it used to be.

 

[drvenner]

That’s you in the video, isn’t it?

LOL, no. At least, not that I recall. I am actually very ashamed for my school if what is being said truly happened.

Yes, I was being facetious. No excuse for it.

 

[drvenner]

If Fulton did indeed win the game and the parents did come out on the floor, that needs to be forfeited. I hope they all get banned and if they are seen hitting anyone, especially players, arrest their sorry asses.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

silver lining is you would be excused from having to watch a girls bb game...

As a high school football official I’m not breaking up a fight. I’m standing back and taking numbers. I’m never putting my hands on a minor. Too easy to get accused of something in a scrum.

Agree with all of this. I've taught my sons to handle it on the field, if it's warranted, take the penalty, do it right, and the other player will knock their shite off.
I have been in altercations on field, as a coach, that has been escalated by a parent, or parents, never turns out good, and it's just a bad look overall for the event. Unfortunately, there are ALOT of johnny redneck dads and mouthy moms, that let their bulldog mouth get the best of their puppy dog ass.
