Who?
Who?
We now are featuring that story as our new QOD:
"My freshman year, he used to send me inappropriate texts as well. I just remember him texting me during a football game when we were selling 50/50 tickets and saying that he wanted to have a competition with me to see who could sell more. So I was a freshman and wanted my coach to like me so I agreed. Well, he ended up winning and said that I owed him something. I just brushed it off and he kept saying things about wishing that he was 10 years younger."
She believes Hadsell was "testing the waters, to see how I would respond" to the flirtatious texts. Those texts stopped, she said, when she began dating someone later her freshman year.
"It just made me so upset to see him lying on television. I think he can be a great guy, he's very funny, and he was someone that you wanted to make proud.
I think he's just a single 42-year-old whose job is to be around young girls that are fit and looking for attention being that they just graduated from high school and do not have their parents around to show them that kind of attention anymore.
- excerpt from a Deadspin.com follow-up on Kevin Hadsell television denials of many of the salacious aspects of the original Deadspin story. In the follow-up, sources claim Hadsell lied repeatedly throughout the interview.
Lol at many sources, you fool
Caitlin, come on now. Just because your boyfriend continues to feed you lies and you believe them doesn't mean everyone else does.
Not to quibble, but how low has Letsrun sunk if you're using the words of an anonymous source as your quote of the day? Also, interesting flip - yesterday you proudly broadcasted a blatantly sexist remark in the same space you're now quoting someone (who may or may not exist) complaining of someone's sexism. AWESOME SAUCE!!!
"If I didn't think you guys were just trying to drum up drama at any cost, I'd give you dubious credit for trying to even things out in a demented way."

It's freaking..... TOLEDO...who freaking cares.
Not to quibble, but I read through the latest from Deadspin and what strikes me most, other than its irrelevance, isn't that a handful of unnamed people supposedly had bad things to say about their former coach. It's how FEW people had bad things to say about him, given what a shit bag he is being portrayed as by his accuser. The Deadspin reporter seems to be obsessed with Kevin Hadsell and obviously went to extreme lengths to try to uncover dirt about him, and the best he could do is get one athlete from six years ago to say he was out of line in some way? Seriously...that's a pretty impressive record, the ugliness of the present day notwithstanding.

LOL. The real "Mistake on the Lake"
Toledo the 11th worst city in America says Forbes!
Yeah just after Chicago and New York . Two of the best cities in the world. So this article goes in the Kitty litter along with this talk board and Deadspin. Talk about beating a "Dead Horse" .....same crap over and over and over...
This story proves nothing as it pertains to the false sexuakl harrassment claims. That's all Hadsell cares about. He doesn't care if he coaches. I know he already is working. He's going to sue so start figuring out your second mortgage. Once the depositions start to get a full picture of her character, maybe we will post everyones comments on here as well.
Kevin has no case. He was not forced to resign for sexual harrassment. I think the funniest thing is that this guy has lost his pipeline. AF will figure it out shortly and he couldn't find a woman with $1,000 in his pocket on the streets of Vegas.

Why do you enjoy the downfall of someone that you don't even know?

Not to quibble, but although he may not have a case against the young lady who seems to have been lying her little butt off (and is he even planning to sue anyone? Where did that come from?) he could well sue Letsrun if they don't change what they wrote about him on the front page.
"People who have watched or read the Kevin Hadsell denials and say Hadsell lied in the TV interview and claim ... he was involved sexually with a current student."
I read the Deadspin article and nowhere in there do even the writer's anonymous sources say that Hadsell and a current student are sexually or romantically linked. Someone please correct me if I am mistaken
This place might actually be WORSE than Deadspin.

This poster clearly knows him. The real question is, why does Emma so badly want to see him burn?
I don't know Emma or Coach Hadsell, but there's something more to this story than either party is letting on.

I spoke to the reporter about it and he said they had multiple sources.
Here is the quote. It's not a new source. It's the original source.
Deadspin wrote:
Response from sources: In our initial story, multiple sources—among them a friend of Caitlin—confirmed the relationship. Andrea also told us Caitlin had copped to the relationship in her meeting with investigators, though that doesn't square with what Hadsell says above.

You sure do seem to know her, referring to her over and over by first name.
Are you Hadsell?
These ongoing posts are creepy. No wonder they got rid of you.
Has anyone mentioned anything about the hidden cameras yet? That creeped me out more than anything else.
Not usually into runners (like the volleyball chicks) but she wasn't half bad.

Not to quibble, but for one thing, no one who works for Deadspin is a reporter any more than the guy who picks up road kill for the state of Ohio is a wildlife biologist.
For another, I ask you again, where in any of that story does it say that "Caitlin" and Hadsell were involved when she was a student? It DOESN'T.
Does that mean it didn't happen? Not necessarily but if I were you I would really be careful what you say on the front page.
And it sure looked to me like the QOTD came from one anonymous source, but evenif it was ten anonymous sources is that any better? Is there really so little else going on in the track world that you have to go there?
