re: Remember that girl who got shoved by her coach in Ponchatoula

I'm just telling you that no administrator is going to back you if you embarrass or challenge or provoke a kid in front of his/her peers and the kid lashes out at you. They'll say that you have to be the adult in the situation and not lower yourself to their level. I'm not saying I agree with it, but that's the truth of the situation. I'm sure this coach was in the heat of the moment and adrenaline was pumping and he said some things he shouldn't have said. Unfortunately those comments were caught on video and he lost his job because of it. Had he just restrained the girl without making the comments I have no doubt he would've kept his job, because I've been in multiple similar situations.
