    NJ baseball player sues coach for telling him to slide

    BOUND BROOK - A former Bound Brook High School baseball player will get a fresh chance in court to prove that his coach was reckless in telling him to slide during a junior varsity game.

    During the slide, court papers say, Jake Maser's cleats "dug into the dirt and the force of the slide caused him to roll over his right ankle." Maser, a 2016 graduate of Bound Brook High School, required surgery.

    In his lawsuit, Maser alleged that Coach John Suk and the Bound Brook Board Board of Education "negligently" and "carelessly" supervised the game.

    But Suk and the board asked Superior Court Judge Yolanda Ciccone to dismiss the suit because Maser had not proven that the coach had been negligent under a recklessness standard.

    When Ciccone dismissed the lawsuit, Maser appealed to the appellate court which, on Wednesday, balked at Ciccone's decision.


    The appellate court ruled that Ciccone "never analyzed whether (Maser) presented facts in support of his claim that (Suk's and the board's) conduct was reckless."

    The appellate court remanded the case back to Ciccone "to make that analysis." The appellate court said it would "not suggest the outcome" of the case.

    That decision gives Ciccone the option to dismiss the case or have it proceed toward trial.

    According to court papers, Maser, a freshman, was at bat in the second inning of the game with runners on second and third base. With Bound Brook ahead 6-0, Maser hit a long drive to the gap in left centerfield.

    After Maser rounded second, he decided to leg out a triple. Suk, who was coaching third, knew there was going to be a "bang-bang" play at third, because the outfield was throwing the ball to the base, so he instructed Maser to slide.

    That's when the injury occurred.

      It will end when the dumbass that puts in a lawsuit has to pay millions to the other party if they lose. As it stands now they can sue and if they lose there are no repercussions; if they win they win big
      Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
      Hope is not a strategy
      RIP

        Agree! Judges need to get the balls to make plaintiffs in these types of ridiculous suits pay up!

          'Inclusive' cheerleading policy rolled out at high school after parent complained child missed the cut
          By Paulina Dedaj | Fox News


          Controversy over school's all-inclusive cheerleading policy
          New Jersey high school sets rule: Everyone makes cheerleading squad or no one does.

          One New Jersey high school is making sure no one feels left out after creating a new “inclusive” policy that would essentially allow a spot for every student who tries out for the cheerleading squad, doing away with skill-based selections.

          After one parent made a complaint that a child didn’t make the cut after last month’s tryouts, Hanover Park High School officials rolled out the new policy — which triggered backlash of its own.

          A letter from the Hanover Park Regional High School District Board of Education claimed that after receiving “multiple appeals from several parents concerning the selection process for the cheerleading try-outs,” the school decided to do away with a skills-based scoring system, and instead implement a system in which students are placed based on their grade-level.

          “The high school administration decided to be more inclusive and not penalize any student from making the squad that did not achieve” the desired scored, the letter stated.

          According to the board, the “Black Squad,” which normally would be made up of the students with the highest scores during tryouts, now will be made up of students from grades 11 and 12, and the “White Squad,” normally made up of those with scores ranking below the rubric, now will feature students from grades 9 and 10.

              I'm pretty sure actual competitions are limited to a certain amount of participants. If the school has the funding to carry a big bench, I don't really care. This is public school and every student should be allowed to participate in the programs funded by their parents tax dollars.
