Suspend coaches for deeds of players?

Is this idea promoted today in various QMI/Sun Media daily newspapers bang on or ridiculous?
I think the author might be on to something - maybe it's time to hold adults directly responsible for the conduct of kids playing minor hockey.
Can it be any coincidence that entire teams, sometimes entire organizations, gain reputations for their styles of play? Is it because the adult leadership teaches it, encourages and facilitates it?
Perhaps.
Maybe it is time to toss coaches, suspend entire teams or default games for certain sins such as damaging the brains of opposing players.
That's what's being advocated here by Canada's largest newspaper chain: http://www.lfpress.com/comment/editorial/2010/11/05/15981366.html
