NCAA West Region Blow Up - Hurdler yells "F$#@ Pat Henry" repeatedly after getting DQ

Easy solution, let her run and DQ her for sportsmanship behavior.

Rules apply to everybody. If the rules aren’t upheld then we might as well not have a competition. And Chanel, just wait till they (we all know who I’m referring to) start letting guys run in your race. That’s why we need rules and rules that apply to everybody.

What I don't understand about this situation is if Pat Henry has a hurdler ranked 12th, why he would be worried about someone running the 24th best time or better. Or perhaps they are ranked 12th in the heat and might get bopped from the fast heat or the next round altogether?

i think it's because the 1/4 finals are today or tomorrow, so his athletes was on the bubble of making it through. Getting bumped down to 13th decreases her chances of making it through to the NCAA's

Nah, i looked at the results and there are 3 heats for the quarterfinals on Saturday and the times are evenly distributed between each heat. A&M has two hurdlers solidly qualified and not at risk of getting bumped. They will still be in the race but perhaps have a worse lane assignment if the Texas runner has a good time.

This whole situation doesn't make much sense with this info, so hope more can be provided.

That's why he wins so many national championships. Yet, this is one of the athlete's last opportunities (the last? if she's a senior) to run nationals and has been waiting probably two years to do so, so it's an obnoxious move, particularly considering that she apparently didn't false start. So, jobbed twice, but you have got to control your temper.

Results say she's a junior.

How did she know Pat Henry filed the protest unless her coach told her it was him. Eldrick needs to teach his kids some class.

Texas roster says she's a senior, previously from USC.

This.....

I think she has every right to say that. He used his home field advantage to make up rules that benefit him.

He means that since top 12 make it to Eugene Pat is worried that his 12th ranked athlete will not make it through the next round and that if someone ahead of her gets DQd it's better for his personal chances. Of a higher team score

Basically the ultimate little dick move

Okay, that's make more sense now.

As a coach it is your responsibility to put YOUR athlete in the best position for success.

From the info on the thread... Texas filed a protest protecting their athlete. Then Texas A&M filed a protest protecting their athlete. Both coaches were correct. The athlete had no reason to complain at Pat Henry, it was the games panel that did her in.

No, its the false start that did her in.

The starter has sole control over all aspects of the start. the starter’s decisions shall be final.

That’s the rule.

She FS.

Next heat.

Texas coach has an athlete that is out of control. Sorry you goofed up this meet. Sorry you feel bad.

Don’t know how Pat Henry comes into this. He wasn’t the starter.

If they would have let her run, every coach that had an athlete that FS should file a protest. Or a foul of any kind.

I think I’ve observed over the years Pat Henry knows how to put it all together.

Jealousy is the meanest emotion of all. Makes everybody else look bad.

I’m for anybody that works hard and knows they did their best when they are done competing.

A bunch of you sound SOUR!

Move on.

A rule is a rule.

Consequences!

Hello....that's what's wrong with youth of today , among the million other things :-)

Officials made three decisions, here:

1) DQ the runner initially

2) Reinstate the runner and permit her to run by herself for a spot in the next round

3) Reverse decision 2 and not allow her to run by herself for a spot in the next round

Can you point me to the page in the rulebook that states that these three actions were supposed to have been taken in this case? I don't see how it can logically be possible that at least one of those decisions does not run counter to the rules.

She’s in her 4th year of college but has 2 seasons of outdoor eligibility after this one if she chooses to use them.

Judge for yourself
