Kyle Heise:
I apologize for seemingly stirring up some differing opinions of Mr. Graves on this website. I thought offering differing opinions would be an excellent way to encourage intelligent, thoughtful discussions of soccer in SC. Obviously, I was incorrect.
I am sure many others will refrain from voicing an intelligent opinion in the future for fear of being verbally reprimanded on the website by one of the Heise clan.
I am a very proud parent of a Cardinal Newman soccer player and will not change my opinion of Mr. Graves' behavior on that particular night. I understand passion for the game and love of the players but it can go too far. Coaches are public entities who represent their individual schools--they need to keep that in mind when they are on the sidelines.
I am VERY impressed that he publicly apologized for ONE of his actions. I agree with Mr. Graves that this message board should not be used in the manner that Rdbrrn16 (and others) has done. It's just not intelligent dialogue and soccer is an intelligent game.
