If even half of what is alleged to have happened is true, then it's pretty disgraceful behaviour from 2 senior people who should know better, particularly when there were junior players and families in close vicinity.
Apparently WT started fielding in Port's 2nd innings with only 10 players as the WT captain stayed off the field to try and calm the situation down (apparently with no success!).
IF true, how many more chances will the WT board give, bloody successful coach though, seems to be every year there is an incident(s) involving said coach. Have these indiscretions hindered coaching at a higher level?, just what the SA Cricket Teams male team needs is some who continually has success in their system, even at 19's / 2nd X1 level. That is not knocking the blokes currently in those roles.
I think he gets an extra chance for every time his team beats Glenelg in a Grand Final.
This is interesting one. Have not heard anything re what MC said but he is normally on the money. In regards to Hags, reckon the club would say the good far outweighs the bad. Similar to Clarko in the AFL, you have the best coach in the comp but they are overly aggressive at times due to being so competitive.
I know the club has his best interests at heart, have made him take a break before, maybe gets a compulsory spell this time. But he does so much for the club, helps out the juniors in his own time, extra sessions constantly if players struggling, and has the best record of any of the coaches.
I have no doubt these reasons are why he wont get another gig with the Redbacks, too outspoken and SACA hate that, but the players all love him and WT would be much the worser without him, all his faults aside.
