I am sorry that you see STEVE Trimble's excitement for his student athletes as being disrespectful to Paintsville's fans. I never seen him act like it was a superbowl win. Can you explain his actions? Did he jump up and down wave at the PHS fans and do something rude towards anyone? I really don't think that he would.
As far as showing class in a loss, can you explain why besides poor sporstmanship would a coach NOT come onto the floor and accept his district tournament RUNnER-UP trophy? Why would a coach let a team leave a bunch of runner-up trophies in another schools locker room for their custodial staff to deal with. I see trying to get a team to not accept 2nd place, but when you do earn a runner up trophy, BE A MAN AND ACCEPT IT! Teach your student athletes Pride and Respect in all fascets of life.

I never said he was disrespectful, all I said is he shouldn't be acting like that. Here are his actions, his school defeats Paintsville in something. What does he do, first man on the court/field running, smiling, clinching his fists, dry humping the coach, acting like its the greatest thing in the world. All I said is that a man in charge of a school shouldn't do that, act like your age and have a little sense about you and be tasteful in your celebration. Me and Eagle Eye actually had a pretty good conversation on the whole thing, and we both agree on a lot of aspects about how both schools handle themselves. And to your other question, maybe the coach left it up to the players, they earned second, not first. It could've been their decision that if they wanted it then go get it, if it wasn't good enough for them then don't get it. They knew that every year they have the chance to claim that trophy, so why not wait until you get the one you want?? You even said it was fine, they were freshmen and have 3 more cracks at it. Thats the way our coach was at State-Semi's in football. We got dirt rolled at NCC, he gave us our option, we chose to take it, many of the kids wouldn't be back and some of us prolly knew we would never get that far again, so we took it not with pride, but a souviner remembering how far we had come and yet so far from where we wanted to be.
