frank beamer retiring, but want the blood in this non-issue...
Beamer apologizes for hitting player on helmet
10/23/2003 - Virginia Tech Hokies West Virginia Mountaineers
Associated Press
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer will probably
not be disciplined for slapping a player on the helmet during the
Hokies' 28-7 loss to West Virginia on Wednesday night.
"The administration and I agree that this single incident is
not reflective of how Frank has conducted business throughout his
coaching career," athletic director Jim Weaver said Thursday in a
statement.
Beamer slapped receiver Ernest Wilford on the sidelines during a
heated argument. He apologized after the game Wednesday night.
"There is no one I respect more in my football program than
Ernest Wilford," Beamer said in the statement. "I should have
shown him better respect. It came at a very frustrating time for
all of us, but that still does not excuse my actions."
Wilford, a senior, said he accepted the apology. "I respect him
as a man, I respect him as a coach. Now it's time to move on and
regroup."
Virginia Tech (6-1, 2-1 Big East) came into the game ranked
third, but the Hokies are certain to drop after they fell behind by
14 points early and never crossed midfield in the second half. It
was Virginia Tech's worst defeat since a 38-7 loss to Pittsburgh on
Nov. 3, 2001. The Hokies were the least-penalized team in the
conference, but were flagged 13 times for 116 yards.
Virginia Tech plays No. 2 Miami on Nov. 1.

When I watch it closely , I think the coach was probably upset the Watson ran into him and thought it could have been avoided. He must have said something of the sort to Watson because u can see DeShawn's head snap around as he walked back to the field. Watch closely and you'll see Watson doesn't go out of his way to avoid him. Still, a bush league move on his part ! Hey, it's a sideline and people do get hit.

Curious if/what Watson said to him when he turned around, but no excuse for that.
The sideline is supposed to get out of the way... or help catch the players to slow them down.

What a low class move by their very "Bush League" assistant. I believe him and spurrier have something in common. They both have reached the pinnacle of their careers.

point clear that you have to show greater restraint as a coach, if you're going to "coach" 18-21 year old athletes to be mature and show restraint on the field.
Of course, this was nowhere near a firing offense, so what ever happens internally on the NCSU staff is enough.
And that's enough said on the whole matter I suppose.

funny how when the ego is not put first, life's little intrusions sometimes seem meaningless.
