quote:

The University of San Francisco has fired baseball coach Nino Giarratano, who is accused of "persistent psychological abuse and repeated inappropriate sexual conduct" in a recent class-action lawsuit.


quote:

The school announced Giarratano's firing Sunday, two days after the lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court. USF previously had suspended Giarratano and former assistant coach Troy Nakamura, who also was named in the lawsuit. Nakamura was fired in January.


quote:

The three former players, identified as John Does in the lawsuit, described varying forms of abuse and described a culture in which "it was 'normal' to see [former assistant coach Troy Nakamura] naked on the field or in a window, swinging his penis in a helicopter fashion while the entire team -- and [Giarratano] -- watched."


quote:

John Doe 2 outlined a pattern of verbal and emotional abuse that resulted in five emergency room visits in the fall of 2021, which contributed to his decision to leave the program.


quote:

John Doe 3 said Giarratano told him he was a waste of space, that none of his teammates or coaches liked him and that "I wish I could take my bat and hit your head as hard as I can and maybe I can get your brain to work," according to the lawsuit.

In the grand scheme, that isn’t all that bad.

Some would call that performance art

This brings back memories of little league

"Coach Naks" was part of the program for 27 years.
quote:

Nakamura performed a skit in which he crawled out of the dugout completely naked on all fours, the lawsuit said. He then proceeded to move to a kneeling position in front of the players and swung his genitals around, according to the lawsuit.



quote:

In another instance in November, the players said Nakamura pretended to be at a buffet and had a player do a handstand. He then grabbed the player's legs, split them open, and "pretended to eat spaghetti out of the player's genital region," the players said.


quote:

On a third occasion, a naked Nakamura stood on a table and swung his genitals in a helicopter motion and yelled "Hey [player's name]," as the player fielded ground balls after practice.

All things considered that coach's actions are probably considered a pretty blah uneventful day by San Francisco standards

This is one of those stories where I hate both sides equally.
