No, I'm not going to tell you.
What I will tell you, though, is that not all situations, even those that are motivated out of anger, necessarily deserve a response, because sometimes anger is legitimate, and even though hitting somebody else is not generally right, sometimes they deserve it. In this instance, none of those players deserved the kind of crap they received.
I will tell you only that it happened in a military context.
Which brings up an illustration of the opinion I just stated, which happened at the end of basic. We had girls on our course, and I took a shine to one of them who was in another platoon. At the end of the course, there was a mixer, where we had all had a bit to drink (yes, we were all underage, and no, it didn't matter). There was music, and she and I were dancing, and I was determined to make that time last as long as I possibly could, because in the military you have to take what you can get, when you can get it, because things get scrambled fast.
Turns out there was another girl who had taken a shine to me, and she was dancing with one of our sergeants. When they came by us, he asked if he could cut in on me, and I refused. Next thing I know he punched me--hard--around the kidney. Talk about stoic, I didn't flinch, and we slowly danced away.
In that instant of time, I knew that he was right. Instead of causing me to respond by going after him, it made me realize--instantly--that I had been a total narcissistic a-hole, because I thought he wanted to dance with my partner, when really all he wanted to do was give the girl he was with some time with me.
The conventional wisdom is that because he did what he did out of anger, he was wrong. While I don't advocate that kind of thing to anybody, as between he and I as individuals, he was right--or, at least, I felt it appropriate to excuse his actions. Again contrary to what you learned in Kindergarten, two wrongs DID make a right. It made 2 rights, in fact--I learned a lesson, and the girl got her dance time. I did dance with her for quite a while later in the evening, still hurting from the punch--a sucker punch in the kidney feels bad for a while. And you know what? She was hilarious, a way better time than the girl I had eyes for. 3 rights.
But that wasn't like the situation here, as I see it, and that wasn't like the other situation I was in.
This coach was a pecker, a guy who has never seen real trouble. Guys who have, don't act like that, unless they have developed a mental problem in the interim.
If he wants to unwind somewhere, I suggest he learn to skate and go play some full-contact beer-league hockey in Philly, or somewhere in Jersey. He would be put in his place so fast it would make your head spin.
