Article doesn't explain things very well. Did the coach do something to break "league" rules? The only reason a coach can be suspended is if he did something wrong. The winning and losing of a game is irrelevant. And it's s stupid sensationalist headline.


He was literally suspended for "bad sportsmanship." It wasn't a league game, though.

It's a school competition league game surely. Bad sportsmanship can cover a multitude of sins, and it can be part of the rules of a competition, particularly in an educational and amateur setting part of sports is meant to be teaching good sportsmanship. And the article seems very vague on the precise reason. I don't think the article in the OP provides enough facts to be able to judge whether the suspension was reasonable or not. And I'm not going to be bothered searching out more facts as the matter really doesn't concern me enough to warrant the extra effort.

There aren't really any articles that give much more than what I posted gave.  The most other articles give are a few more quotes and maybe some semi-related material, but all of them pretty much give the same story.  The coach was suspended because his team won by too large of a margin, possibly some seeing it as the coach trying to humiliate the other team or being disrespectful.  But the details surrounding the case are not 100% clear with any of the articles.
