Coaching is a hands on job

MONUMENT, Colo. - A former high school basketball coach faces 39 charges for allegedly hitting male students in the groin, showing them pornography and pouring water on his players then driving them to games in the winter with the windows rolled down.

What the hell is the world coming to when a coach is punished for molding young minds with a little tough love? In my day this was called motivation, nothing got me pumped for a big game like watching porno and getting doused with cold water; usually by that point I was seeking a little groin action.

Seriously though, 39 charges are a bit much for a guy who just needs a friend and a little group therapy…say a NAMBLA meeting…I think they help with these sorts of issues? That would surely help him with many of his relationship problems. I can remember when I was a young man I had a coach who said he was involved with that group and he was the nicest guy in the world. He use to take me out for milkshakes and pie, he even gave me massages when I was sore after practice. Strangely enough, I witnessed him videotaping his application of Ben Gay on another player and we never heard from him again. I heard years later he was coaching the Thailand youth national team. I miss you Coach Karr!
