Two of their coaches will be out due to receiving red cards late in the game, for protesting a red received by one of their players. The young lady was getting beat up most of the game and she reacted to a hard foul(understandable but still uncalled for.)
Two points of interest:
1: The dirty tactics on defense are out of control. Players are using butt ends of their crosse, using their hips and legs to slow attackers down, and pushing in the back until they get called for it. I know the officials can't see everything; but one should at the minimum observe off ball play. Some players just lack the skill to play cleanly; fault of coaches to develop players.
2: Thin skinned officials. Emotions will run high during this seasonal point. Someone has to be logical. To card the coaching staff this late in the season makes no sense. A stern warning should have been suffice.
Good luck to Whitman on Monday and in the playoffs. Your goalie is a beast(in a good athletic way!)
I have seen this coach on a couple of occasions. If past experience is an indicator, he most likely deserved it. The time of season is irrelevant. With this time off he can study his rule book!
Reread what I wrote.....coach was defending the dirty play of the opposing defender against his attacker. I was at the game and one certain defender did and has engaged in dirty play all season long....so this coach's rant was warranted. Tuck in the RABBIT EARS and play on!
