Hmm, I coached high school girls xc, indoor track and outdoor track for nearly 20 years. There were not many girls who "threw" themselves at "good looking coaches". At most perhaps some attempts at "flirting" but they could easily be rebuffed. For an inappropriate relationship to develop the adult HAS to react postively to any flirting and ACTIVELY encourage such behavior. There is no excuse for it EVER. Thats the bottom line! Lets stop making excuses for morally/banrupt repulusive behavior by adults entrusted with the care of younger people.

This.

In the rulebook for being a good coach, Rule #1 is "Don't bang your athletes or ex-athletes." It's that easy. Seriously. When you break that rule, very bad things happen to your relationships with the rest of your athletes.

That just means they had lice.

Saw the headline and started to scroll down and this guy's name came to mind for me knowing he was coaching in Maryland. Then I see his pic and name and I am stricken with horror realizing it is actually him even though I knew he had been married for awhile. Nice enough guy but big party guy back in the day when he was coaching at Auburn and UAB where he was the head coach for like 3 or 4 years of the women's only team. Sorry to say not surprised my initial thought of him as the person the headline mentioned proved to be true. Much speculation about his relationship years ago before he came to Alabama when he coached a HS star runner in Maryland about his relationship with her at the time and why he followed her to Auburn.

Wow. That is a tough sentence to read.

Oh really? Name a state? Just one?

How about three. I've taught in Pennsylvania, Florida, and North Carolina over the last 10 years and it was illegal in all three for teachers to have a relationship with a student IN YOUR SCHOOL. Doesn't matter if it is a 14-years-old freshman or an 18-years-old senior. If the student is in your school, whether you have them in class or not, you will be fired. Now, there is nothing illegal about dating a high school student of age from a different school; it may be frowned upon though.

The question is...

was his wife a student-athlete of his?

We all assume some long, tall, slender distance runner

as the young woman that he was caught with, but he coached

track not XC, so maybe he was a sick dude and had a thing

for women shot putters.

They might be discussing the same thing over at the message board for shotputtersareus.com

My coach coached his wife. He worked as the women's distance coach at a D3 school while getting his masters. Not sure they exact age difference (and therefore how many years he coached her for), I just know that he coached her.
