Reading through these rules again, It is hard to believe that Kyle Weems never got thrown out of a game by a Valley official. He violated these rules every time I saw him play.
The standards for the conduct of administrators, coaches and student-athletes immediately
preceding, during and following athletics events are:
(1) exhibiting respect and courtesy towards all participants including the coaches,
student-athletes and officials;
(2) exercising restraint in their actions, both physical and verbal, toward other
participants;
Student-Athletes. Respect for the game in which the student-athlete participates also demands
respect for the opponent. Student-athletes at MVC institutions are expected to treat opponents
with respect There will be no tolerance for taunting and baiting of opponents.
MVC student-athletes must understand that they are often the most visible representatives of
their institutions and their behavior is observed and emulated by many who are younger. MVC
student-athletes must honor the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of representing our
schools by behaving with dignity and class on and off the field.
Officials. Officials assigned to Conference contests must enforce the rules regarding
sportsmanship, without tolerance for abuse. The only warning to participants and coaches
regarding sportsmanship should come at the beginning of the contest. Once the contest begins,
penalties (consequences), not warnings, must be assessed for violations of unsportsmanlike
conduct. The Conference will require that officials eject any coach who protests
unsportsmanlike conduct calls
Officials who do not follow this policy will be subject to reprimand or suspension.
Commissioner. The commissioner is expected to enforce Code of Sportsmanship. He or she is
authorized to assess penalties for improper behavior that is not detected or properly addressed
