Coaches and Their Ethics-Hill Murray

Fun and Games · Post by **Fun and Games** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 2:08 pm

I would like to see a newspaper article written about the high ethics of the Hill Murray coaches this year. (and I'm not from Hill but am amazed by this). How did they make the decision? What it easy or hard? They did the right thing knowing their season would not be what it was last year. Does anyone have a story of a time a coach they had on any team had high ethics and a genuine moral compass or totally missed the mark by sitting a player when they shouldn't have, played someone who they knew was doping to get the win, etc. You probably shouldn't name names unless they were truly outstanding.

Is sad, you probably won't get to many examples, but you could but together a war/peace length novel on poor ethics.

Winning is the most important ethic, and possibly only ethic, when it comes to most high school coaches.

He ruined 4 kids lives for making a mistake that probably 75-80% of high school students also make.

Yeah maybe, but they got caught, unlike the other 74-79%of kids who do it, while playing sports. They had it coming.

Very nice ethics coach but,

#1 - Easy to make the call with a fresh State title in your pocket and the fact the 4 boys had already been contacted by the next level. So I ask, Would he have made the same call a year ago? He didn't do anything about it years before, so I am guessing not.

#2 - I am glad to see 2 of the families decided what is more important and kept thier kids in school.

#3 - He just wanted to make it so Hill can say they now know what Woodbury, Cottage Grove, Tartan and Stillwater fell like every year.

"Hey Pioneers, How does it feel to lose you 4 best players?"

I am not sure about what went on with the 4 players at hill but come on your playing hs hockey in the great state and won state last year you can't be doing whatever they were doing TEAM comes first they knew they were doing wrong and only thought about themselves and that's not right

Well I would imagine that the rules are stricter at that school being they are a private school and all. That might have played a part in it too maybe

Agereed I think the coach had some idea what was goin on and wanted to set an example.I just don't understand if my parents dished out money so I could have went to a private school and I was good enough to play ushl and beyond why would you do anything to screw that up. But don't get me wrong I've made plenty of mistakes in my life but I don't know exactly what happend that got them kicked off the team and its non of my buisness.

played someone who they knew was doping to get the win,

I like the choice of words here.
And to think last year Hill was HOPING to get the win.
What a difference a year makes.

I like the coach but this was an easy decision. The offense was much greater than minor consumption or smoking. Most coaches would have done the same thing.

We can keep kicking the dead horse, but the bottom line is....it's still dead.

The coach ruined 4 kids lives?

No I believe the 4 kids ruined there own lives by committing a criminal act.

Again who is responsible for their actions coach or pupil? At least we all know what is wrong with society.
