·         Mr. Phil Stumpf, Assistant Boys' Basketball Coach made comments on the current rules of NJSIAA and that an additional clause should be added.

·         Mr. Michael Aliberti, father of the injured player, passed pictures around from the day of the incident.

·         Mr. Ray MacNamara commented that there would have been more altercations if the coach had not reacted and that we should preach to  kids to do the right thing.

·         Mr. Carmen Trifellitti stated that he witnessed the injury (one punch) and supports the coach.  Few people saw the incident due to the location of the ball and because of it we lost a coach and a player.

·         Ms. Stephanie Weidman, who has a child on the JV team, commented that the sanctions are not appropriate.

·         Mr. Scott Wagner, CEA President, commented that the Board of Education has not responded to the Union regarding the negotiation process for the new contract.  Mr. Horchak responded that he has e-mailed Mr. Wagner on two occasions.  Mr. Miller spoke about the fact that there has been a limited opportunity to meet due to inclement weather and that the Board will have a response by the end of the business day on Friday, March 18th.
