Loyola Speech and Debate Coach Says He ‘Would Have Walked Off’ VP Debate Stage

‘Rude’, ‘unprofessional’, ‘out of control’, ‘I would have walked off the stage’. The reaction from champion Loyola Speech and Debate coach Matt Stergios after Tuesday night’s Vice Presidential debate.

After coaching the state speech and debate team at Loyola to 33 state championships, Matt Stergios freely discussed his disgust at the performance of Tim Kaine and Mike Pence during their single debate at Longwood University in New York.

"While I want my students to be informed about the world around them, I hope our debaters didn’t watch, because that’s how you don’t debate," Stergios said. "When a candidate interrupts over and over again, when they talk over each other, if I’m a judge they’re going to get the loss.They’re being rude, impolite and unprofessional. Even if what they say is golden, there have to be rules of civility."
