Indy's Knotts remains suspended
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools announced this evening that Independence football coach Tommy Knotts will not coach Friday night's playoff game at Page. He'll resume his teaching and coaching duties Monday, the school system announced after completing its investigation Thursday.
Of course, he'd like to be preparing the Patriots for a second-round game at Matthews Butler next week. But there's always a chance Page (7-4) will send Independence (9-2) home with a loss, especially if Knotts' presence and play-calling are greatly missed. He began serving a suspension for a JV postgame altercation with a parent last Friday, and Indy fell to Butler 21-20 without him.
One thing I still can't believe is that a parent would heckle the coach who has won seven straight state titles in North Carolina's largest classification for bad play-calling. Then again, this guy who got into it with Knotts was from Philadelphia -- where they'll boo anyone, Santa Claus included -- and apparently didn't know the coach "from a can of paint," as his father told the Charlotte Observer.
