Not taking sides just throwing out a couple of thoughts on the subject, But, being a
Coach (not Football), this seems to have been mishandled from both sides.

First, the pink towell/gloves is a KHSAA violation unless previously approved by KHSAA
which they would have done for Breast Cancer Awareness. Which means there should
have been some communication between player(s) and Coaches. The towell was removed
prior to the game.

Second, not sure how severe the reprimand was, but Coach Jewell needed to address
the issue because of Team dress code policies and KHSAA regulations. Your typical
High School athletes are not aware of KHSAA regulations and guidelines.

Third, the problem here is that Coach Jewell did not address the whole attire at the
beginning of the game. The gloves should have been removed along with the towell,
and not have been an issue after the game.

Fourth, I don't see this as an attack against Breast Cancer Awareness, but it sure seems
to be turning into one.

All eyes will be on Corbin Football and the Administration. They need to make every
effort possible to note and make public that this was not in disrespect of Breast Cancer
Awareness. The administration should consider a Breast Cancer fundraiser the last Home
game with Harlan.
