Not that bright - your comments are preposterous. He didnt know any better? Are you f'-in kidding? Yeah, let's sympathize with the married man with kids who's been a teacher and a coach for x number of years. And to say what he did is not that bad? I think your user name describes you quite a accurately. I certainly wouldnt want an adult who thinks like you around kids.
I’m not at the “feel sorry for him” phase. I’m at the “I want to put my hands around his throat” phase. You do realize he raped a young girl that he coached right?

You might be as stupid as he is, you certainly can't read. Nowhere did I say what he did is not that bad, I said THE CHARGES are not as bad as they seem. You're clearly too stupid to understand the difference. As for him not knowing any better, I stand by that. He's that stupid to think what he did was perfectly normal.

Was he married with kids?
Anyone else feel like the only safe guys are guys who are married with kids of a similar age or older than they are coaching
Even then I would be more comfortable that my daughters were coached by women then men but if it has to be men those would be the only ones that I would be at all comfortable with
Let's face it it's not healthy for single men to be around teenage girls alone in compromising or potentially compromising situations
If a guy has a wife and he has kids the same age then I think it is much safer but like I said would still prefer women coaches to coach girls and young women and even college-age girls
Just curious, cuz I know no situation is perfect but like I said much more comfortable with women coaching girls and young ladies
Wow, you're not an a-hole at all. You literally have to pass some conjugal test to be permitted to work with adolescents? Get tf outta here.
You get the F out of here. You don't think there's tons of people who would be much more comfortable having their daughter coached by a woman
Honestly unless you have daughters why would you really be motivated to coach teenage girls. Let's face it this tons of creepy people out there and tons of potential when you create these situations
The chances of a woman doing a similar thing to teenage girls is probably a thousand times less likely
And yeah you do have to pass a test it's called testing whether it's likely we're creating situations where people are going to be raped
So I think we should kind of test and try to figure out how to prevent teenage girls from being raped b think that would be a good test
So unless you sort of like the scent of potential rape in the air to spice things up a little I think you should try to get serious about figuring out what situations can create that and which situations are much less likely to create that
But yeah maybe your philosophy is better let's just not have any litmus test for things and just deal with the raping after it occurs

This. We need to push back against the psychos who want to legitimize the perverts among us and protect our daughters.
Someone bailed him out. So there are people out there that still like child rapists
Please come forward if you know absolutely anything helps. even just names of the girls. trust me. they know important information. much evidence isn’t needed.
and now a priest assigned to the school has had credible charges brought against him. 2 accusations in the span of a short time; makes you wonder what is going on and how the powers to be are retaining their jobs in the midst of such a scandal?

Seems that this is getting more and more prevalent in athletics.
As with practically everything else that people perceive to be getting worse in the world, this is a function of an increase in sensationalist media exposure, not increasing prevalence.
15 years ago, a local scandal would stay in the local news, not be bouncing out to everyone's phone in the world.[/quote]
This has always been around, it's just that if this happend back in the 80s or 90s the guy would deny it and say the runner had a "school girl crush" on him. Now there's digital evidence, pictures, text messages, so the girls now have evidence against these creeps.
"Honestly unless you have daughters why would you really be motivated to coach teenage girls. Let's face it this tons of creepy people out there and tons of potential when you create these situations"
I think we spotted a potential rapist right here. He ONLY sees girls/women as there for sex, if you aren't there for sex, why in the world would you even THINK about dealing with a woman/girl for anything else? You wouldn't want to encourage positive behaviors in youth, help young people reach their goals, pass on the enjoyment of running... You HAVE to be there for all the underage sex, right?
WOW- talk about perverted backwards "thinking".
What if you HAD teenage girls, but they grew up and went to college, and then got married.. but omg YOU ARE STILL COACHING GIRLS!! You have to be a pervert right??
You are an idiot and a fool.
+100. Sounds like Mike Pence's "I never eat dinner alone with another women" rule, which is equally creepy.

Yeah, can’t believe those creeps who don’t put themselves in situations that could even be perceived as compromising their fidelity to their wife.

I hope this isn't true. If it is then this school is a mess.
Unfortunately it is accurate as reported by the local news in the past few days.
You know... I actually didn’t agree with you at first but after reading this post you may have changed my mind.
I think you are drawing a real false equivalency there...
I don’t see this as that different than preferring to having a female counselor at an all girls sleep away camp. Literally nobody would bat an eyelash at that statement. I disagree that there should be some sort of official policy but if I was an athletic director of a high school I would certainly be looking for a girls coach for a girls team as part of the job description.
FYI I learned later in life that the high school coach of our girls team was sleeping with one of the athletes. I know that is anecdotal but I think it is silly to ignore the fact that this isn’t a once in a blue moon occurrence.

I looked and couldn’t find the story. Do you have a link?

There is not - and has never been - anything creepy about this rule. It is nothing but a responsible take.
You should hire the best coach-period.
It's patently unfair to the female athletes to hire a less qualified coach for them simply because you want a female over a male because you are assuming all male coaches want to creep on young women.
Now if all things are equal, I would probably defer and hire the female coach.
No I don't but the story was on the Sac evening news. Brief story that pictured a map showing the campus and mentioning the priest had been credibly accused and an investigation was underway
