Coach Has Ken Hinkley Been Found Out?

[Elixuh]

Probably shouldn't expect some actual brain cells from a Fitzroy supporter.

---

Players get educated on this stuff every year because their comments represent the club. I’d hate to have to mindlessly defend ginnivan every season. Must get tiring.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Spot on, both are adults. They're either both right or they're both wrong.

Simple.

It's simple if you ignore the roles they play.

A coach has more responsibility than a player to act like a decent human being. Surely that's not a surprise?

Sure, but neither actually did anything wrong. There was no abuse, there was nothing untowards,so what lines of responsibility was crossed?

Stop taking yourself so serious and relax.

Some of us think coaches insulting players is cringe

Especially when said coach's players didn't seem to care...

Omg. Hang this in the Louvre. Impeccable logic. You’re either Sam Mitchell or you’ve gulped down his kook aid. What a comment.

 

[SellarStardom]

That fire in Sam Mitchell is going to burn for a while, Hawks will be out to get Port for a few seasons after this

Telling him that he's not flying next week is insulting him?

 

[Schulzenfest]

You're confused? Think that's more of a you issue.

Hinkley had the choice to show respect and be gracious in victory or not. We saw what he chose.

His team were lining up to show respect to Breust - he was mouthing off. After a win no less.

I would have been annoyed if Sicily initiated this - after a win or loss. But the fact a senior coach (yes there's more responsibility with that) decided to take this approach instead of celebrating a win shouldn't be confusing for you in terms of who has embarrassed themselves more

Ginni shouldn't have mouthed off. Hinkley shouldn't have mouthed off. Sicily shouldn't have mouthed off. Three flogs exhibiting floggish behaviour at each other. And a fourth flog is you for acting like this is mean old Ken taking it upon himself to abuse two innocent Hoks rather than three flogs being equally floggy.

And he did apologise about what he said in the post match interview. Have not heard anything from Ginnivan when there has been an opportunity for an apology to be made.

Looks like Ken is the bigger person here.

Ginnivan is a player, he doesn’t need to be a decent human being. See. Logics.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Yeah, found out to be a great coach.

 

[Ugottabjokin]

Strong username to post content ratio. Hope to see Ginni courtside at the Hungry Jacks NBL round 1 next week

Basketball will be better than your night scrolling through ancestry.com looking for your next girlfriend.

So the guy who wins a final but focuses on a player from the losing team is the bigger person?

Geez man - that's some mental gymnastics there

Ken said he wont talk to Breust, Sicily, Mitchell or Ginnivan, did he really apologies then?

Insulting, antagonizing... same shit

Personally think coaches should stay out of it

You’re currently placing for the gold medal in mental gymnastics in this thread. Glass houses and things of that nature.

Nah man - I'm saying Ken just won a final but his focus was on Ginnivan and Sicily. That's absolutely embarrassing.

Ratagulea tried to pull him back - but Ken was super fixated on this. It was so embarrassing that Ken opened his press conference with an apology.

Could have taken the high road and celebrated an awesome performance - instead acted like a child.

Glass houses? Do you know what false equivalence is?

Where does it say only players can engage in antagonising?

I agree a coach shouldn't be starting stuff, but if a player starts it, then no issues with a coach giving it back.

Hinkley's focus was on Ginnivan. Sicily's focus on Hinkley. Both embarrassing.

Sicily 'wins' that interaction by ignoring the sad old man and letting him embarrass himself by shouting into the void, not by bickering back when he's supposed to be focusing on chairing Breust off. And of course, the interaction doesn't even happen if Ginni doesn't act like a knob on social media in the first place.

Ken has an issue with giving it back - he started his press conference (after winning a final) with an apology.

How many times has that happened?

Super embarrassing.

Port were awesome tonight - Ken somehow made it about him

Do you realise how ridiculous that is after a great finals win?

Yes. I've already called out Hinkley's floggery (dunno if you've noticed but as a rule us Port supporters generally aren't huge fans of the guy). You're the one ignoring Sicily's and Ginnivan's floggery. Any one of the three of them just had to have acted like a normal human being and Breust would've gotten the sendoff he deserved.
