Lancaster Ohio girls b-ball coach in trouble ... you know the story ..

Sexual battery? Really?

 

My son's coach texted his whole team about practices, when to meet for games, changes in scheduling, etc. It's not unusual these days.

 

Every time I've ever gotten a player's number from a coach it's been in his or her cell phone.

 

So how long until some district passes a rule that only women can coach girls' teams? Not exactly fair, but, then again, not the first time we've heard of an incident like this.

 

Yeah, women only coaches will take care of the problem.

That coach looks like a balding Colin Cowherd with a shiny suit.

 

Don't know what jurisdiction that coach is in but hard to see how texting is "sexual battery." Battery historically meant actual contact with someone's body. Perhaps this refers to the actual relationship with the unnamed student?

 

I'd be shocked if they charged this guy with "sexual battery" for a text message. They probably have more stuff on him. If they don't, the charge is way overblown.

 

That won't solve the problem, in fact in some ways, it might make it worse:
