Got it, so this is a unique situation. Doesn’t look good for the coach. 
 

Pretty low hanging fruit for lawsuits as well. 

Every situation is unique. Not many times will you see 2 situations that are exactly the same. Still doesn't make him a criminal

We will soon find out. What will make the situation criminal is the statute and the DAs reconciliation of the facts with the statute.
 

We do know for certain that the coach came up with the drill and then instructed the kids and the kids went to the ER. Whether that fits the statute remains to be determined.
 

I am nearly 100% certain that the parents will be scoring a considerable law suit.

What statute?

Doesn't fall under that category far as I can see 

1. Were the victims children?

2. Were they under the supervision of the coach?

3. Were they injured?

4. Was the activity introduced by the coach?

12 news just posted a new article about it,kids were given an option as previously mentioned…either do this tik tok challenge or do a workout…wow 

So, they were pressured to do the challenge. That will make it worse.

You clearly stated they were were given options to do it or not but that’s not the case…they were given an option to do the challenge OR a workout

I don't see how that would go far if he didn't personally inflict injuries on them. From what I hear it was an optional workout and some kids opted out with no consequences. 

This ^^ was not the case evidently

How not? 

Because the "opt out" would include a "workout". Choices were 1. "Do the challenge" or 2. "Do a workout". The obvious inference is that to avoid the "workout" you have to "do the challenge". That is "applying pressure". Afterwards, many kids sought medical treatment. 

*** For reference: 6th graders are not routinely capable of rendering adult judgement as to what is in their best interest. The point that the "challenge was optional" is utterly irrelevant. The kids were under the care and influence of an adult caregiver.
