  Speaker 2: Hailey Monroe as the team was waiting for the metal

  Speaker 2: News ten for the repot. Please.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Northfille girls basketball head coach Jim Zulo, a New York
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: State Basketball Hall of Famer, was fired late last night

  Speaker 3: following a postgame incident with one of his own players.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: After Northfill's loss in the Class D championship game, Zulo
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: was seen on the NFHS Network broadcast pulling the hair
• 1:26

• 1:37
  Speaker 3: expletive toward him after he instructed her to shake hands
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: with the opposing team, which is what he says led
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to the incident. In a statement, the school district said,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in part quote, the Northville Central School District is aware
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: of and deeply disturbed by the conduct of the coach
• 1:54

  Speaker 3: will be following up with the affected player and their
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: families to provide support and outline the actions we are
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: taking in response to this incident.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I see stories like this, and I believe in the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: star come because there is no way that somebody carried
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: this young woman for nine months, pushed her out, went
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: through this excruciating pain called label and this guy Jimzulo
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: isn't walking around with his jaw wired shut today. Okay,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it's just impossible for me to believe it. This dude
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: would have the audacity to unmitigate a god to do
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: something like this to someone else's child. Okay, Now, I'm
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: all for the village. It takes the village to raise
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: a child, but everybody in the village shouldn't have the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: same authority. Okay. Now, I grew up in the era
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: where anyone in the circle could put hands on you
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: all right, from parents to grandparents, aunts, uncles, principles. If
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: you was in the cave an adult, that adult had
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: permission to put hands on you. I don't agree with
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that philosophy, and I damn sure wouldn't agree with that
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: philosophy in twenty twenty five, for adults got all types
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: of trauma they haven't worked through and they be projecting
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: it on to kids. Okay, won't do that to mind,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So I don't care. You know what this guy Jim
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Zulo was going through whatever frustration he was feeling. You
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: don't take it out on my child, but yanking her
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: head the way that you did, grabbing her by the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: ponytail and giving it that tug the way you did.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: You damn Nick, gave this girl whiplash because you mad
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: about something. And once again, when was this young girl's parents,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a brother, uncle, somebody to smack fire out of Jim Zulo? Okay,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: at least put the fear of God in him something.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I also don't understand how you can be an adult
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and you're supposed to teach kids to have better conflict
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: resolution skills when you don't have better conflict resolution skills.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I get it. You just lost the championship game. Emotions
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: are high. You told them to do something, she didn't
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: do it. That's your story. But you're the adult, you're
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: the leader. You're supposed to teach these young ladies discipline, teamwork,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: how to handle adversity, and how to live with loss. Okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you know how many quotes about losing you can google?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Lionel Messi said there are more important things in life
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: than winning or losing a game. Morgan and Wooten said,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you learn more from losing. Than winning, you learn how
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: to keep going. Alex Morgan said winning and losing isn't everything.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the journey is just as in parting is the
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: outcome now other than line MESSI I don't know any
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: of those people, Okay, but I googled, and all I
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: gotta do is say those quotes came from Serena Williams,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Lebron James, and Glorilla, and damn it, these kids will
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: be motivated and they will live to play another day. Okay.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I could actually quote Glorilla after a loss for real. Okay,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: all I gotta do is say, listen, kids, every day
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the sun won't shine, but that's why I love tomorrow. Okay,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: You Jim let your emotions fumble your professionalism. And Donald
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Trump needs to sign an executive order that says, if
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: an adult assault your kids in any way, you can
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: assault them back. You can't go further than assault, can't
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: kill them, but you can administer a retaliatory ass whipping
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: of some kind. Okay, f all that when they go low,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: we go high. Nonsense. It's a silly philosophy, a silly philosophy.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: But don't listen to me. Listen to the author of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: forty eight laws the power Robber Green.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It was the old thing of when they go low,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we go high. Throw that in the toilet, please and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: flush that down. That is a stupid philosophy. When they
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: go low, maybe we go a little bit lower than
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we normally have, but we're gonna fight. You have to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: show them that you're gonna fight and do something equal
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to what they're doing.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That they back off.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You don't necessarily have to do it, but you have
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to show give a demonstration that you're gonna be tough.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: There's a line in the sun that they cannot cross,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: or you're gonna make them pay for it. If they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: never have a sense that they have to pay consequences
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: for what they're doing, they'll go further and further and
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: further and further. It's a deterrent strategy. The other side
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of the enemy, the rival has to feel that they're
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: going to pay a price for doing something unethical or
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: against the rules.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Please let Rumy Mad give Jim Zulo the biggest h
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: he ha he ha, you stupid mother, Are you dumb?
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Certain lines you can't cross and tugget in my child's
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: ponytail after the loss is one of them. I agree,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: simple as that, but I'm sure they probably gonna suit
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: that man. They going suit the school, and the ain't
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: gonna get they should you shout out to our team
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and I don't know our teammate's name, but shout out
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: to Hanley Monroe's teammate for standing up for her, for
