ERIC: IN DES MOINES, FORMER LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL ASSISTANT FOOTBALL COACH JASON STORM IS ACCUSED OF THREATENING TO KILL A REFEREE. COURT DOCUMENTS DETAIL THREATS STORM MADE AGAINST THE HEAD OFFICIAL DURING LAST FRIDAY NIGHT’S GAME. HE SAYS THE REFEREE MISSED A HELMET-TO-HELMET HIT AGAINST THE LINCOLN QUARTERBACK, WHO’S STORM’S SON. STORM RESIGNED OVER THE WEEKEND FROM THAT COACHING POSITION AND TURNED HIMSELF IN TO POLICE YESTERDAY MORNING. HE WILL BE BACK IN COURT ON NOVEMBER 20. ATHLETIC DIRECTORS ACROSS IOWA SAY JASON STORM’S CASE IS NOT NEW TO THEM. SOME SAY IT’S GETTING HARDER TO CONTROL ABUSE TOWARDS GAME OFFICIALS. SCHOOL OFFICIALS SAY REFEREE ABUSE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME BY COACHES, PARENTS AND EVEN STUDENTS. ONE EASTERN IOWA ATHLETIC DIRECTOR SAYS HE TALKS TO FANS BEFORE EACH HOME GAME TO LIMIT THOSE TENSIONS BEFORE THEY START. SOMETIMES HE’LL EVEN TALK TO THE VISITING TEAM’S STUDENT SECTION TO KEEP THE PEACE. >> WE SEE IT AT ALL LEVELS. WE SEE IT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. WE SEE IT AT THE COLLEGIATE LEVEL. PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. BUT EVEN THE YOUNGER ERIC: MOST LEVELS. ERIC: MOST ISSUES HAPPEN DURING THE FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL SEASONS. ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AND DISTRICTS SAY THEY’RE TAKING MORE TIME TO TEACH STUDENTS AND STAFF ABOUT GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP SO PE
