| - I wanted to give a little more information on NYS now that the season has ended:
1) absolutely zero action was taken in regards to my complaint. According to the parents on my team, not one of them was contacted in regards to the situation.
2) Shawn also never contacted me back to address my complaints.
3) Shawn put a Yelp response up to mine, stating, "Since the opposing team in question still has a remaining game, I have made arrangements to personally observe the game as to not dispel any claims that come to our attention." However, Shawn made arrangements to be at my game for tipoff and the first 5 minutes or so; my game started at 10am at 63rd Ave and Union Hills; the "opposing team" started their game at 10am as well, at 24th St and Cactus. Even under the best of circumstances, that's about a 1/2 hour drive, not including time for parking, and our games, including half-time, timeouts, etc., are barely 40 minutes. (Note: it may very well have not been Shawn...it may have just been a man who looks exactly like the picture of Shawn attached to his Yelp comments...who just happened to be walking around introducing himself to people as Shawn from NYS...I wouldn't know because he never approached me)
So, it sounds like Shawn specifically scheduled it so he'd show up in time to celebrate with his buddies.
4) One last thing to make clear: through this entire process, not once has anybody with NYS given a simple, "I'm sorry". Not the refs at the game, who could have easily said "I'm sorry man, I didn't see enough for a foul." Not the league coordinator, who could have easily said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't watching the game at that point, and I'm sorry I didn't step in to stop the poor sportsmanship from the other coach." Definitely not the owner, who has only spoken to me once about this whole thing, and that was only after my persistence, who could have said, "I'm sorry, I don't have enough to go off of," instead choosing to just go with the "it's all in their imagination" defense. You know who DID apologize to me? Parents of players on the other team. A coach from the game after ours. A referee who works NYS games who has seen the videos and agrees that the the officiating at the game in question was horrible and clearly got out of hand.
It needs to be noted that every one of the parents on my team left NYS after this season. Several, including myself, had already signed up for the next season and had to go through the hassle of arguing and getting refunds, due to the NYS "no refunds" policy (Note: my wife didn't have to argue for a refund, as it was apparently expected, but I've heard from two other parents that they've had to argue for refunds, and NYS told them that they don't do refunds via phone, you have to come into their office, which is only open M-F, 10a-5p, which is when most people are working. It is interesting that Shawn states he was present when my wife went in for a refund...as somebody who has been in business for many years, I would have made it a point to step out of my office to greet her and apologize, face-to-face...but that's just me).
