    The guy made an honest mistake (whether his story holds any water or not), he shouldn't have to step down for it, and it was on for only 30 seconds (so he says).

    He should get fired. No excuse.

    Yeah, you can't do that. ... I'm not saying watching porn is a crime, but man, keep it at home. The fact he brought it to the school is pretty bad.

    I'd rather have my kids watching two or more people making love than have them see two or more people killing each other.

    If porn was really about people making love, you'd have a point.

    I guess saying, "April Fools!" didn't work?

    Does anyone actually believe the coach's excuse that it was some unknown visitor that left the DVD in the player? Is he running a boarding house?

    I don't believe that part at all, but as long as he has a clean employment record, I'd probably let it pass with a suspension.

    I know porn when I see it and I know boys volleyball when I see it. Sometimes I can't tell the difference, though.

    If I were this coach, I'd say .. "It could be worse ..."

    In February there was a coach in Massachusetts who was arrested for something similar.
    He wasn't just any coach, either. He was the winningest coach in state history and it happened the week before his team wrestled for the state championship.
    His team won with an assistant coaching.
    The state association sent out a memo to the media before the meet for anyone covering it saying that only questions about the meet would be allowed.
