I feel sorry for this coach. One or two sentences in a news article is ruining this man's 30+ years career. The "playfully smacking" a teacher's backside is uncalled for. Were these students punished? I bet not as much as the coach. As an elementary school teacher, society has gotten to a place where I am hesitant to even hug my students. That is pitiful. When you don't hug them, the parents cry that you are mean! You do hug them, and you are improperly touching. Give me a break! Parents need to start raising their own children and not leaving it too the schools to do for them!
