LEEDS, Maine (AP) - A high school basketball coach was fired after telling his players at halftime to reach into their pants to "check their manhood," administrators said.
Leavitt Area High School Principal Patrick Hartnett said coach Mike Remillard told the varsity boys Jan. 23 that "tonight's game was about who had the biggest (male genitalia) in town." "He then required his players to all stand up and put their hands down their pants and check their manhood," Hartnett said in the statement, which was read to school board members Thursday by Superintendent Thomas J. Hanson a day after the coach was dismissed.
All but one player followed the coach's instructions, Hartnett said. The team won the game.

Man, I know you got to be kidding! I saw this clown on O'Reilly a few months back, with his mom, both complaining how he should not be made fun of or laughed at, just because he wants to look like a limp-wristed clown.
"Last one picked? Need a hug?"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Excellent.
Why did the coach get fired??
Nothing about Belichick is simple. Also, TJ has a lot of personal responsibility. In that write up he complains about being put in - yet he donned the full contact shirt - and then he complains about not being scheduled to play, right before he cleans out his locker and takes off. TJ gets some leeway for having brain injuries but that wasn't all Belichick and not much different from what most NFL coaches would do.
You should see some of the parents at little league games. My husband (who is an umpire) throws out a parent every 2 games or so and about 1 coach a week for unsportsmanlike behavior. Then after the games he always, ALWAYS sees a parent in the parking lot berating their kid for a bad play. It's sickening. BTW, I'm not talking about teenagers, but with kids starting at age 7 or 8. How are you going to learn to love a game when you know you are going to be embarrased and screamed at for missing a grounder?
Wouldn't work when the Senate minority roughly resembles these lads.
It's a man's life in the modern Senate!
One of my teammates, at the time the backup quarterback, was Brad Childress, currently head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
In addition to winning lots of football games Coach Dickerson turned more than his fair share of young punks into real men. And he did it with the blessings of the heroic Benedictine monks who ran the school.
Most of the Coach's "instructional techniques" are indelibly burned into my brain. When his former high school players saw him in action with the Bills, we didn't need to have Coach "miked up" or read lips to KNOW exactly what he was saying to his players.
Having said all this, Coach probably couldn't wish a high school football team "Good Morning" today without the PC police attempting to cart him off. It would not be so much the intensity of the language as the challenge to your pride; which the overeducated idiots running our schools confuse with "self-esteem."
America has lost so much....
Dude, I don't deny people learn these traits playing organized sports, but I can't for the life of me understand why people be come so passionate about a bunch of kids playing a game. Parents screaming, coaches yelling. Stickers slathered all over a car.
Oh, btw, a hug would be nice. /kidding.
The coach is an idiot, perhaps also gay.
Hmmm....a bunch of guys standing in a circle touching their privates:

I'm sure this coach can find a job in a red state. Maine is a coombaya commune.
At least he didn't have the players check each others' packages. Now that would have been a firing offense. Except in San Francisco, where it's required prior to every game.
Yeah, he was/is that jerk who was getting mocked mercilessly, for looking like a freak. Figured that I would just put him out there as a representative of the limp-wrist type who would tell on the coach for being a man's man.
"OMG, I grew up with coaches like this guy."
This is junior high school stuff. They are upset over this?
"I'm not talking about teenagers, but with kids starting at age 7 or 8. How are you going to learn to love a game when you know you are going to be embarrased and screamed at for missing a grounder?"
At 7, no. At 13 yes. This was high school.
