Coach B of the same team as Coach A reported to the police in February that he had been assaulted and bullied at work by Coach A, while Coach B claimed violent behavior, Coach A denied it with an answer to the effect that there were arguments but no physical fights.
The Sports Ethics Center said on the 4th that it decided to demand disciplinary action against the coach after deliberating on the human rights violation case of the victim of the professional volleyball coach A. The reporter claimed that the accused volleyball team coach threw a 20-cm-long black TV remote control at the victim while discussing players in the manager's office and threatened him as if he was going to strangle her with his left hand. 'He claimed that he distributed false information by dismissing the victim in public with other coaches and making remarks to other officials that the victim treated him as if he was going to hit him.'" Coach A, the accused, said in an investigation by the Sports Ethics Center that `he threw a remote control on the table in anger while the victim was complaining about the player, and there was an argument in the hallway, but when the victim raised his chin and pushed himself close, he pushed the victim's right shoulder with his left hand to keep his distance.' He also said to the victim in front of other coaches, "'You should go out or I should go out.'" However, he never communicated the conflict with the victim to other team officials", he explained.
The Sports Ethics Center's deliberation committee judged that verbal abuse, abusive language, or throwing objects with loud voices could be violent as an illegal exercise of tangible power even if it did not directly touch the victim's body, and that the accused's actions were violence using the superiority of being a volleyball team coach. In addition, even if the feelings of each other became intense, the act of the accused in the superior position holding and pushing the victim's neck in front of other coaches was not justified, and making remarks suggesting the victim's exit in the presence of other coaches was an act that posed a psychological threat to the victim and constituted bullying using his position.
In addition, it was judged that the accused had damaged the victim's reputation with content that could undermine the social trust and evaluation of others. Accordingly, the Ethics Center decided to demand disciplinary action in accordance with Articles 10 (1) and 11 of the Korean Volleyball Federation's reward and punishment regulations and Article 18-9 of the National Sports Promotion Act.
