PlayActionPass Posted October 28, 2015 Report Posted October 28, 2015 Hmm, admits to physical contact with a player, but didn't slap him. I wonder if it was the School Board members kid. Is this a power play or a legitimate issue. Was offered a settlement pretty quickly, could be using it as an opportunity to get rid of a legend. Quote

My kids challenge me at home, but are well behaved at school. I'll take it. I'd rather discipline some acting out at home than burden a teacher with it.

oldschool2 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 This sounds like it may be disgruntled parent(s) at work here. I would hope if a high school coach actually physically slapped a minor...then there would be police involved. Was he arrested? Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

oldschool2 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 lil john john wasn't getting playing time. Or just an extreme way to make him resign. One of the many, many reasons I feel so sorry for coaches, and could never do it. I would get fired year one. Their jobs are literally dangling by the production of teenagers, and the feelings of parents/board members. It isn't a coincidence I'm so quick to defend coaches on this site as often as I do. Plus they're all the while balancing all of that with the fact that they have to teach all day, deal with discipline issues, missed practices, bad practices, other teachers, grades...wow.People are so stupid. A good coach has the ability to change the mindset of a player. Make them work harder than they normally would, make them believe they are capable of beating anyone, get the absolute most out of a kid/team, even impact the future of their players by transforming then into productive citizens when their parents couldn't. But...no matter how good of a coach they may be. If the other team's fastest player is faster than your fastest player, the other team's biggest player is bigger than yours, the other team's strongest player is stronger than yours, and the other teams best player is better than yours...it may not matter how good of a coach you are. But parents don't want to hear that. Literally...shaking my head. PlayActionPass 1 Quote
sbparent Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 Okay, so what happens now. Player says he slapped me and Coach says I did not. Whose side does the school board take? And from what I have heard (for whatever that is worth), Coach did not slap him per someone on the sidelines and it was a school board members son. Quote

tvc184 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 When I played, if a coach said that he was going to put his foot in your butt, he meant it. I am not sure how many times I have had my helmet slapped.Today we have come to a time that we are playing a sport where kids can slam into each other going full speed in opposite directions that sometimes causes broken bones, torn ligaments and concussions and complain that a coach touched someone.More pansification of America.

I agree with this completely. I had a junior high basketball coach that stood under the goal during warm-ups. If you missed a layup you got swatted with his whistle strap. He was huge and believe me you felt it. To me at the time it was normal. Believe me when I say I learned to make layups with both hands very quickly as you had to use left hand on left side and right hand on right side. Bigcam2903 and tvc184 2 Quote
