[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of your examples were silly (who cares if he talked to a teen like he was animal? Kid was too sensitive there - that kid needs to get a grip). Some of your examples were more serious (possible heat stroke at practice, homophobia).

The main problem is that you weren’t there and you aren’t sure exactly what was done or said. And little details are always exaggerated as stories get told.

I agree that - in isolation - some of the examples were dumb comments but not  in-and-of-themselves dealbreakers. The thing is, even if you pile up a handful of those dumb comments - without the more serious ones - why do teen kids need to be around a mouthy jerk like that? These aren't dumb comments in the context of a generally tough love coach that is making the kids better, or if they are OP didn't report that. They're unnecessary attacks from a coach who doesn't sound that great. And then you pile on the bigger issue comments/actions and it becomes a case of "I know HS coaches are hard to find, but this crosses a line." As plenty of PPs have said, lots of high school coaches aren't like this at all.[/quote]
