If the coach is FCPS staff, they are specifically prohibited from communicating with students on social media using private accounts. Every communication with students must be on an FCPS system that can be monitored and overseen by FCPS (such as email or Schoology.)

Quit blaming the victim.

Cosch sounds pervy, predatory and definitely inappropriate.

I would report this if it were my child.


I’m a high school teacher and I agree. It should be reported. Seen multiple male coworkers go down for this shit. It infuriates me how they have such easy access to these girls.


Newflash: it's not just male coaches doing it to girls. There was an issue several years ago with a coach inappropriately texting the boys he was coaching.


I didn’t say it was only men or that men only do this to girls but in THIS situation it is a man inappropriately DMing girls, so I referenced my other male coworkers who have done similar things and been placed on leave and investigated and eventually fired.

Have screenshots and contact your DSA.

I have coached for 20 years in FCPS and coaches should absolutely NOT be following athletes on social media. If they create a sport specific IG to help with recruiting, that is a bit different.

No, no HIGH SCHOOL coach should be. If you want to get recruited in your sport, you need them to follow you. But your sport social media account should be separate from the one you/they use for their friends and unrelated stuff.

I would be reporting that to somebody so my kid could play the sport she loves (presumably) without me wondering what that creeper coach is doing. Heard a very similar story about a gymnastics coach several years ago, and he ended up getting arrested.

Maybe this guy isn't that, but people with good intentions usually don't go past the fuzzy line, they stay far on the safe side of it.
