Tuesday, December 14, 2010

NY Jets trainer Sal Alosi was suspended without pay for the rest of the 2010 season and fined $25,000 for tripping a Dolphins player on the sideline during a game Sunday.

Alosi was caught on video sticking out his left knee to trip Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll, who ran out of bounds while covering a punt in the third quarter of Miami’s 10-6 win.

Sal, blinking back fake tears, said on Monday, “I let everybody down yesterday with my actions. My actions were inexcusable and irresponsible.”

“I wasn’t thinking,” Alosi said. “If I could go back and do it again, I sure as heck would take a step back. It was just a situation where I wasn’t thinking.”

Carrol, who twice broke his right leg while playing in high school and college, said he wasn’t angry about the incident.

“We got a ‘W.’ That’s not my problem,” Carroll said. “That’s the Jets’ problem. We just move on. I felt contact, but I’ve got to watch film. I can’t comment on it right now.”

Many outraged fans of the sport believe Alosi should have been fired for his unsportsmanlike conduct. “What about fair play. What about sportsmanship and setting a good example? We know sometimes players go off the rails, but coaches?,” wrote a CBS news reporter.

While others were willing to cut him some slack, such as this comment left on CBS news website:

I think the punishment is fair. Alosi now has the suspension period to reflect on what he did, the poor example he set for his wife, children and the organization, and commit to being a better husband, father and sportsman.

The suspension will begin immediately. General manager Mike Tannenbaum said Alosi will also not be allowed to interact with any players or coaches “as it pertains to his job function.”

“It’s on me,” a contrite Alosi said.

Coach Sued for Whipping Basketball Players With Belt

Thursday, November 11, 2010

A high school coach is in hot water for whipping his basketball players with a belt for misbehavior.

A video aired by WLBT News in Jackson, MS, shows Murrah high school coach Marlon Dorsey whipping a boy as the player passively bends over to accept his punishment.

Attorney Lisa Ross calls the whippings appalling. “Teachers do not have a right to hit you,” she said in an interview with WLBT.

Dorsey and the parents of the boys met recently to discuss the beatings. Coach Dorsey later gave them a written apology. “He can’t even give me a good reason for putting his hands on my kid ’cause I don’t do it” said one outraged dad.

The boys say they didn’t report the whippings — which have been going on since September — because they feared being kicked off the basketball team.

Coach Dorsey was suspended for 28 days without pay.

Paddling students was a routine and necessary means to establish order in high schools in the 80s. Back in those days, we didn’t have guns in school, high pregnancy rates or the gang violence that plague schools today.

Still, it does seem odd that a coach is whipping boys on a basketball court Joe Jackson style.
