I am a wrestling coach and I do not see how touching a boy's genitals motivates him at all. It is rather creepy that this sicko even thought this was a motivational tool. I agree with his termination and believe that there is a lot more to it then we all know. However by this man being affilated with M-S sports it makes me question how this creep was allowed to be by our kids. I personally graduated from mahomet - seymour high school and believe that our wrestling program has always received a lot of reconition. As a parent I believe this man should never coach again.

I wrestled at Mahomet and think a lot of this has to do with bonding. When we showeered together we would horse around. One time we had a partner wash each other's back. It was all innocent fun. Hitting and rubbing each other was just for fun. I don't see what the big deal.

First of all not sure when you graduated but that is rather gay. The big deal is he is a coach a mentor to our kids who they trust and we trust to guide them not foundel them.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aries

Take care today Aries, because the emotional landscape in your neighborhood will be full of pitfalls during the coming fortnight, as it has been since the Solar Eclipse on May 20. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, perhaps a neighbor or sibling, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than burying them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.
