I think it's out of line, but a coach I know is defending it on Facebook. |

Never, ever, ever, put your hands on a kid.

This is tough, it's a blurred line really. It's his son in case people didn't watch or listen to the story so it might make things a bit more cloudy. Who knows what was said or done before the video. I got jacked up a few times by my parents when I was a teenager, some may say that's wrong and what not but I survived. I would say the answer is somewhere in the gray not black or white.

While on the sideline wearing the coach hat and not the dad hat, he crossed the line.

The video doesn't show a man disciplining his son. It shows him losing control in a very public environment.

It crosses the line, but I don't think he should be fired for it unless it got worse after it went out of frame. Even if it wasn't his kid, if it was a one time deal then I think you give the guy a path to redemption. If that's a regular means of interaction, dude has to go. If a coach did that to my son, I would expect an explanation and an apology. If I got those things and an assurance that it wouldn't happen again, I would be satisfied.
I work in South Georgia and we still have corporal punishment in our school district so how as an administrator could you allow one and discipline for the other?

Yes. He crossed the line.
Can you imagine the doghouse this guy is in at home?

Yeah this isn't acceptable as a coach or as a parent. Teenagers are {censored}, but this is hardly the way to handle it. Smacking a kid around isn't going to make them respect you or listen to you. It only makes them fear you and resent you.

A guy around here got fired once for pushing and possibly punching a kid in the hallway during a JV b-ball game. He was the football coach. And the kid was his son.

If I did that to a kid on our team I would expect to be fired. If I did that to my own son who was on the team I'd expect to be fired and have my packed bags waiting for me when I got home.
I feel worst for his son that is center stage in this circus.

I have never understood why any rational, mature adult would shove, swear at, or god forbid hit a kid because he-she made a mistake in a game of any kind.
My coaches didn't and I made enough mistakes to give them ample opportunity.
And that was back in late '60s-early '70s when such behavior wasn't frowned on so much.
In fact the Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechlers who cursed at and got physical with their players were icons.
This "man" should not be in charge of a HS athletic program.
As far as his family dynamics - I guess that's up to them including mom.
But I would never have treated my daughters that way for any reason (didn't have sons).
If I did I would have been single in a hurry, and rightfully so. |

And I’m not against corporal punishment in the slightest but this guy lost control of himself I don't know what set the dad off. If it was just a mistake or bad play then yeah way too far. Did he get ejected for something dirty? Tell a ref or coach to F off? If I saw a kid mf a wal mart employee in front of their parent then I would be disappointed if they didn't get smacked up side the head right then and there. Not saying it was the best reaction or correct course of action but depending on the situation I can kind of see dads side. |

His son told him to "shut up."

I believe according to the story, the son told the dad to shut up. |

The dad, in a facebook post, said that the kid told him to shut up. The video doesn't really seem to support that but nonetheless, the dad is out of line. The dad's approach is the equivalent of a sucker punch. I have no problem with him spinning the kid around and getting nose to nose with him. That dad lost control. You could see him brooding and then he snapped.

Seemed like the news media members were more turned on that their little town and video website went viral than the actual reporting of the story.

He did cross the line. I would say this had I told my dad to shut up as a 16-year-old in a private setting I would have expected a similar fate. The fact this is on the sidelines is what makes it over the line in my estimation.

One of the problems with having a dad/coach. I know we always can't avoid it though. I currently have an AC whose son plays on the team- I have had to tell him at times you need to be coach now, not dad.

I currently have an AC whose son plays on the team- I have had to tell him at times you need to be coach now, not dad. Bingo. There is the fine line that has to be walked. As a coach/administrator on the sidelines, you should try your hardest to not be a dad. If you want to be dad, go sit in the stands. If you are going to be on the sidelines, you can't be dad. |
