Ok. Here we go. I have sat back and watched this thread for a couple of days now and not said much. Years ago Coach Knox and I hated each other for reasons that don't matter. In the last 10 years I have watched Coach Knox and learned to respect him for what he does to teach/help/mentor kids. Do the coaches go overboard sometimes, yes. But which person on this forum posting hasn't went overboard a few times. Every coach on that team will fight for their kids if they think they are getting screwed as will I. I as a parent would rather have a coach that will stand up for a kid than just sit back and let it happen. I did see something this weekend that bothered me. It was a match between a TOHK wrestler and a kid in an orange singlet. Didn't see the whole thing but started watching it in the 3rd period and watched as the opposing wrestler charged the Knox kid and attempted to tackle him then drew the fist back. I believe this was after the match was over. Why was this kid not ejected. I'll bet if it was the other way around it would have been. I had one ejected from districts for cursing (as he should have been) If you don't like this team then ignore them, if you do like them then cheer them on. Just let this drop because this thread is getting way out of line. As for the coaches in the parking lot didn't see and could care less, just don't bitch about the coaches when you have officials that have been arrested for far worse than pot and are still allowed to ref.
