That was stupid of them and the coach! So why even bother playing St. X if you don't intend to compete! I think that I would have found an alternative to their suspension. Like maybe against a weaker opponent or maybe one game each but alternated between the two. If that is how it goes for Russell, then I guess the rest of the 16th hopes that they violate team rules again in March! lol

I think Coach Dodd did the right thing here. What would your idea teach the kids, that sports and winning were more important than anything. Coach was doing the right thing inspite of the fact he probably thought he would lose and to me that shows character and that's always more important than a win. I would rather my son or daughter play for a coach who win teach them life lessons as well as athletics rather than play for someone with your ideals on this matter. JMO.
