Old-fashioned me likes to view coaches and teachers as potential role models for our kids. This coach certainly would not be one.

If the parents were so concerned, why did they go to the local news? Sounds like they are just out for fame rather than the safety of their children. The guy is an idiot, not a perverted criminal, he needs to have his license taken away but that doesn’t mean he is a bad person.

Marionchen is right, this DUI-coach has a grater chance of harming those young athletes. If my child were in that team, either the coach goes or my child goes.

I do think that some people learn from their mistakes and can teach a good leason to children of the path not to take. I think that he should be monitored at all times and should do a lot of community service to teach children not to do what he has done.

I wouldn’t want my children coached by someone who has not undergone a background check, much LESS a habitual drunk driver!!! What is WRONG with that organization?

i think it is fair that the parents be concerned about this mans record, but if it is not affecting his coaching, i dont see why he should be removed from coaching.

Third offense? That’s ridiculous! And that’s what a background check is for and why it should be done. Everyone deserves a second chance…but not a fourth one. Good grief.
