It's Your Decision- What Would You Do? Read the following scenario and address the four questions regarding what you would do in this situation:
Coach Mitchell’s football Wildcats are down 14-12 with one minute to play. The fans scream as Robbie, the Wildcats’ star tailback, makes his way downfield, dodging and spinning his way to the two-yard line. As Robbie gets to his feet, he takes a cheap shot to the kidney of his tackler and spits toward the tackler. Turning around, Robbie sees Coach Mitchell staring directly at him. Both Coach Mitchell and Robbie know that this behavior goes against the coach’s philosophy and team rules. The crowd is going wild in the stands as the referee signals first down; the Wildcats are only two yards away from a win and the teams’ first postseason game in 15 years. How would you respond if you were the coach? Who will be affected by your decision? How will your decision affect Robbie? How will your decision affect the rest of the team?
