Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I’ve put the fear of God in my children so they’d never be in this position. Plus my older son is fat and lazy and my two alphas are too skinny. With that said, not sure how I feel about someone else throwing my kids around other than myself…
I’ll be chinteresting to see how this one plays out.

crushing.
Doesn't mean the kid didn't deserve the Bobby Knight treatment. Don't twist. Most of them do.
That being said…..At the end of the day you can’t put your hands on a kid. I’m sure he’ll probably lose his job
You can see the very moment he realized it
He barely touched the kid, but will still likely lose his job over it. If my coach had to do that to me, my old man would have disassembled my ass as soon as I got home. Then he'd have put my arm back on, made me write an apology letter with it, then taken it back off and hit me with it a couple more times.
Edit: nevermind, shitty source below said it was Lipscomb University, but it's actually Lipscomb Academy, a prep high school. Still, fuck them kids.

Same thing applies to dogs, kids, employees.
I don't think he did anything too wrong. I guess always be careful "touching" someone when it's heated.
In retrospect, I can honestly say that in my "playing career" (LOL), I never initiated a conversation with a coach, ever, about anything. As Tony LaRussa said, "I've got an office, he's got a locker". Now, all I get is "my hitting / pitching instructor said..." or my favorite, "Have you seen the video on youtube?"...FML, and now Trent can "spend more tim with family"...
Sometimes kids that get coached the hardest like that are the ones the coaches like the most and are pushing.
I never had anyone quit on me and only a family or two who tried to avoid getting their marshmallow kid on my team again. Most were fine with it. I played bad cop and good cop as needed. Kids and supportive parents caught on and grew to appreciate and understand...follow my my rules and everything is zen.
But you can't put hands on kids, at least not in front of people. No parent is going to tolerate a coach physically manhandlinh their kid in public. I understand you guys saying there's no context, it didn't look that bad, etc and even agree. Anyone who denies that they'd react if that was their kid in the video is being dishonest though.
Hands off. You just can't break that rule.
A varsity football player in full gear, though? I'd be pissed off at my son if there was a legit reason for it.
