Best coaching decision of the year, thus far: Mesa High coach Kelley Moore suspending 13 players, including two starters for tonight's game against Gilbert.

Mesa is 0-2. Gilbert may be one of the few teams on its schedule it can beat. Plus, tonight is the 1,000th game in school history. It's a big deal for the school and it might be the best moment the Jackrabbits have all year.

Moore easily could have held the players out in the first quarter for their transgression - they were late to a practice - yet let them play in the game. Many coaches would have done that - or less.

Instead, Moore decided it was more important to maintain discipline in Mesa's program and teach the kids a valuable life lesson.

Good for him.
