Apology to Brett Hogan by News Corp.

Need to note, I have no doubt that Hogan is not racist, and I've personally heard many quiet (and loud) racist comments ON the NBL court addressed to, by, from and between players and coaches of almost every colour and ethnicity, but only by referees when off the court in the bar, and even that was back in the 80's and not said as a disparaging remake in itself( remember 80's ...somewhat unenlightened back then).

However there have been NBL coaches and players who have rubbed officials the wrong way, and those officials have subsequently developed a reputation that suggest they subsequently avoided giving any leeway to those players/coaches. just the way it is.

" in ensuring the baseless allegations" ??? i thought school was back by this week ?

http://www.espn.com.au/espn/story/_/id/18629023/adelaide-36ers-nbl-coach-joey-wright-fined-referee-race-claim

NBL 2017 - "The NBL's investigation at the time into that incident did not result in any findings in relation to any remarks or slurs of a racial nature," the NBL said in a statement.

Joey was reported and fined in 2017 for making the statement that a referee had been reported and suspended by the NBL FOR racial abuse in 2011, which was incorrect. This can be incorrect and baseless, even if racial abuse did occur and was part of the actions of the referee , but was but was - ignored by the panel - unsupported by the presented evidence - not a chargeable offense within the NBL rules and thus could not be part of the NBL finding.

Hmmm, it may also be that it is only News Corp that does NOT access to the audio of what was actually said by the referee to Wright, during the incident in which that referee was reported to AND suspended by the NBL for their conduct ( but NOT specifically for racial Abuse) while other private parties do.

Who Knows ?

Wow I can't believe Joey would do that.

I hope that Hogan didn't retire because of this incident.
