High School Basketball Player Body Slams Referee

Note to the high school basketball player in this video: when you are upset for getting ejected from a game, the proper way to protest is not to attack the referee who threw you out. It’s especially not advisable to body slam said ref.

Apparently, the Desoto High School basketball player referenced above does not understand any of what I just wrote. After getting tossed from a game for a minor on-court scuffle with an opposing player, he started pleading his case with the ref. When that didn’t work he got physical — real physical (fast forward to about 1:20):

SWFL Hoops, which uploaded the video to YouTube, explains what has become of the incident:

The game ended in forfeit after the player from Desoto High School in Arcadia, FL attacked the referee after being issued a technical foul and was ejected from the game. The player has been banned from all extracurricular school activites according to the coach, suspended till January 10th as of now, and a police report has been filed. However, the official involved chose not to press charges at this time.

It also issues the following advice regarding the player and the school:

Please do not let the actions of one teenager generalize the future potential actions of other individuals. This individual obviously made a bad decision. However, there has not been any other on the court incidents by other team members that we have knowledge of, and this player just transferred into the school this season. Therefore please do not unfairly associate his actions with the other players on the team. We posted the video because it is newsworthy but not with the intentions of it branding a team, coaches, school, country or area in the same light. We feel that the school, coaches, and anyone involved handled this very well, as it could have escalated even further but did not.

    My, my, my……
    Dont you all realize how mis-understood this young man is?
    You should be helping this poor youngster whom I am sure is just a victim of unjust rules and regulations that keep him from expressing his inner feelings and emotions. Basketball is this child’s dream, his only chance to achieve greatness in his life, if you deprive him of his “right” to play basketball how will he ever be able to earn a living and provide for himself?

      You must be right. Let‘s tell him that it is OK to assult people you don’t agree with because you’re poor and black. It is not a “right” to play basketball. if it is, I missed that in the billof rights. Please show me where it is at. He is not misunderstood. he is a future welfare recipiant and or felon. Sorry, but that is the way life is. if you carry that attitiude around in life, you will never become anything.

      Blazing.. I only mentioned that it appeared the other guy was the one who did the first foul, as I found it quite ironic. Nothing more, nothing less. And as for his response, to the other player, that was nothing out of the ordinary, in a contact sport such as basketball. His reaction to ref is of course what needs to be looked at.
      I believe that you and I agree.. but that maybe I didn’t state my points very well.

      Oil Robb.. I didn’t mean to sound as if I were making excuses for him.. nor did I suggest (necessarily) any jail time. There are other ways to punish those who do such things, and that is something that the courts can decide on. And yes, that would have to include civil courts. And again, I was not blaming anyone but the dude who decided to go after the ref.. I’m not at all sure where you came up with that.

      Sinista.. thank you. You made my points more clear. My opinion is that some sort of community service is what would best “punish” this type of crime. But make no mistake.. it was a crime.

      Sorry that doesn’t fly. The other kid may have fouled him by bumping him as he ran down the court, but that’s something taking place within the context of normal play. Once you start pushing that becomes a non-basketball action and you are going to get a tech every time. He then pushed the other player again with as much force as he could manage after the whistle had already blown and play was clearly dead. Another technical and in basketball that’s an automatic ejection.

      I’m not sure what video you were watching but nobody was slapped in the face. Did a foul occur that the other player got away with? Yes. Was it some kind of explicit violent act that justifies the reaction in any way shape or form? Not a chance.

      Also basketball is NOT a contact sport. Making contact with another player is by definition a foul. Of course you have to give some leeway or you would be calling a foul every second and the game would be unplayable and unwatchable. But basketball is not a contact sport. Are there bad offiicals at every level of the game that turn it into one by allowing people to get away with fouls? Yes, but that’s not the game, that’s bad officials.

      As for the people screaming he needs to be prosecuted. The victim of the assault isn’t pressing charges. You cannot prosecute an assault case without the victim pressing charges. It was a pretty weak assault anyway. He pushed him on the shoudler and then dragged him to the ground. It certainly wasn’t the “Body Slam” that the headline claims. The only reason it looked as bad as it did is because the ref didn’t try to defend himself, which is more than likely out of fear of a lawsuit.

      What would have happened if the referee blocked the initial shove and countered with a teeth-removing blow to the face of the young man?? We’d all be calling for criminal prosecution and banishment for the referee, now wouldn’t we!

      If that were my kid, I wouldn’t allow him to play sports again, until he could demonstrate appropriate maturity of behavior. Participation in a sports program is a PRIVILEDGE, not a RIGHT.
      And I’d be having him make a full and SINCERE apology to the referee, the coaches, and the athletes from both teams.

      And please fellow posters, let’s practice some degree of maturity amongst ourselves.

      Yes we would, because that would be an overreaction from an adult vs an overreaction by a child, the adult, being a referree afterall, is held to a higher standard.

      In the NFL, players are ejected even if they come to help break it up. The same is in the NBA, they aren’t even allowed on the court to intervene, they can’t leave the bench or get a technical.

      How much so should a referree be held accountable if he reacts in the way you described?

      A sport cannot be a contact sport when contact between it‘s players is expressly prohibited by it’s rules. Contact is penalized in basketball. That’s why you get ejected when you accumulate too many fouls, and it’s why the other team gets free throws.

      You should demand a refund from whatever institution you received your education from. You were clearly shortchanged if you can’t understand a concept as simple as that. But then you’re probably basing your opinion on the NBA which is not basketball. They simply choose not to follow the rules of the game in the NBA. It’s a different game in college and certainly in high school. Corruption in the pro league does not make basketball something other than what it is. It simply illustrates that they care more about making money than the integrity of the game.

      He should be banned from the game permanently. Then be sued over the incident. This boy definitely has an attitude problem.

      If they don’t prosecute this player for assault, then when he is robbing a bank, store, or McDonalds and kills someone then he will just plead that he made a mistake. This teenager definitely has an attitude problem and if not stopped now then when?

      He obviously has no respect for authority…thanks to his parents. Take this thug out back and teach him the real meaning of discipline by whipping his ass. Until people start suffering REAL PAINFUL consequences for their actions things will continue to slide into anarchy. Basketball has turned into a thug sport anyway. If I were the principal of this school this guy would never play sports again while attending the school. Break it off in him.

      Somehow, I knew some racist jerk was going to comment on the player’s skin color as if being black is a prerequisite for violence.

      I seen it coming.

      Do I actually have to start posting instances of white players attacking the black or white referree?

      Maybe we should talk about Hockey….

      I kind of agree with the “hood” statement. But, only as far as my personal knowledge of how progressive policies have destroyed the black community. Fathered households hover around 30%- the sense of family is gone, as the government has became the father. For the life of me, I can’t see how a single black person could ever vote for a democrat- yet they vote democrat by a solid 90%. Progressives have made many in our black communities into “victims”- and victims have no power, and are not constrained by the norms of a peaceful society.

      Let’s see…how “HOOD” was those two WHITE KIDS who went around tasering and beating up homeless people with baseball bats?

      Oh yea, they weren’t hood at all..

      They were privileged white suburbanites taking advantage of the destitute to perpetrate a cowardly crime of opportunity.

      Are hockey players “HOOD”?

      Or are they men with high levels of testosterone in a contact sport?

      Hey Sinista Mace….

      One question…9 out of 10 times whose showing the disrespect in whatever the venue. The black dudes or the white dudes. Reality is obviously tough for you to swallow. When a white man speaks the truth he is always labeled racists. When a black (in color only) man speaks the truth he is an Uncle Tom. When a thug speaks up i.e. you…its just more noise. Denial is a tough way to live Homee!!!! Word up! Get a life and start living in reality.

      @sinista
      World English Dictionary
      hoodlum (ˈhuːdləm)

      — n
      1. a petty gangster or ruffian
      2. a lawless youth
      I think the second definition covers the “lack of discipline” or “lack of respect for authority” you stated.
      Anyhow, I think the “hood” dirty harry mentioned is short for neighborhood.
      I would think that someone who writes there name “sinistA” instead of sinistER, or writes things like “I seen it coming” would be hip to that jive.
      By the way, I bet his Gramma takes him to church every week.
      He‘s just a dumb kid that probably ddidn’t have a proper male figure teaching him respect when he was younger. To late now, coach can’t do it.

      Obviously the ref was being racist and deserved the body slam. No worries, Al and Jesse are already filing a lawsuit against the school with backing by the naacp. Obama called the ref “stupid” but is willing to have a beer with the two men as a good will gesture.

      No matter what the kid throwing the ref is bad bad bad…..however maybe he would not be so pissed if the foul called was really his fault. Most of you putting comments on here obviously only watched the video to see the kid throw the ref and you didnt watch to see why he threw the ref down. I am NOT saying it was right…. I am just saying I might understand.

      I’m going to have to agree with you Sinista, races aren’t the problem, people with bad attitudes are. And @Cobra, 9 out of 10, as you say, would probably be WHITE because white’s are the majority. What the media likes to do is show the white on black violence because it scares white people and allows stereotypes to be carried on.

      He should have simply cried “Racism!” at the ref. It is, after all, the “abracadabra” of the Black community. Don’t get what you want? Cry “racism”. Get penalized? Cry “racism”. With the Dream Act and our porous southern border coupled with the anchor baby explosion, I should be able to use it soon enough too.

      “Doesn’t have anything to do with the hood?” Are you serious? It has everything to do with the “hood”! If the races had been reversed, what would come next is a civil rights lawsuit due to a race-based hate crime! Don’t be naive.

      Not saying he was right to go after the Ref… but if I were thrown out for that I would have wanted to smack him too.

      I do have to agree with all of you who stated that he will fit right in the professional league. I gave up on the NBA quite a while back. Haven’t watched a game in years.

      Upon starting the video, I suddenly had psychic powers because I could predict exactly who would do the body slam and exactly what that person looked like. Sorry “Sinista Mace” it’s not racism when behavior is backed up by statistics.

      In your so-called mind, I suppose that Maine is just as violent and dangerous as Compton, CA, right?

      COBRA BLUE, with all due respect, I personally haven’t attended a sports event 10 times and experienced 9 times that black players were being disorderly.

      I don‘t know where you’re pulling your statistics from, but it appears to emanate from your anus.

      I refuse to swallow your reality. On the contrary, I reject your reality and substitute my own, you see, reality is determined by the observer. My reality is not your reality. It’s all respective to the perspective and reality is relative to the observer.

      I don‘t know what example you can provide that I’m a thug, it seems like you just have some personal issues to deal with. That’s your prerogative.

      There is nothing to deny, I already anticipated that some racist clowns (such as yourself with your preconceived notions and prejudiced, fabricated statistics) were going to try to make this incident a race issue, when it is clearly not race related.

      It is sad to see however, that this discussion about lack of authority, lack of discipline, and poor sportsmanship is turned into a racial issue by a group of idiots.

      @NFYRx

      The definition of lawless means to not be constrained by law.

      If you would apply such a weak context of this defintion to sports players, then every foul committed ought to be prosecuted by law.

      As such, by your flawed logic, everytime a hockey player gets into a physical fight with another player, then they ought to be prosecuted and banned from the sport as well.

      Seeing as how this is not the case, and the fighting in hockey is in fact celebrated, suffice to say your argument is a non-sequitur.

      I don’t think your personal attacks on my pseudonymous screen name have any relevance whatsoever. It illustrates your lack of potent argument on the critical issue at hand.

      Unless you take this incident way out of context, there is no way you can describe his actions as “hood” by any definition.

      I don‘t know what the hell you’re talking about sir.

      I never said I could predict anything of the sort you’re saying.

      What I said is that I could predict that someone was going to turn this issue into a racial issue, when it clearly isn’t.

      Two hockey players don’t always have to agree to fight.

      Sometimes people just get sucker punched and it’s on from there.

      Sometimes people just get suckerpunched and don’t get back up. **KO**

      Anybody named “WHITE DEVIL” definitely doesn’t have the credibility to call me a “supreme” anything.

      You probably call yourself “Supreme Wizard” when you put your white sheets on at night.
