can see the you tube video.
I understand the dad's point of view to a short point. I'm a dad, and wouldn't want my kid to get hurt, ever! Of course. I wonder, though, did he see the video and see it was a drill, not malicious in anyway before he gave this interview?
To the comment "a coach should never put on a helmet and hit any kids." I have to call bs. It's a part of coaching. I remember playing football and interacting with the coach just like this. I remember playing the tennis coach and wrestling with the wrestling coaches. I've coached football and wrestling and interacted with the kids as a teaching tool, and I believe this fits in that category.
It sucks, but it's not worthy of lawsuits and angry words back and forth between school officials and parents or between posters here. Save the anger for the coach that grabs a facemask out of anger and throws a player on the ground in disgust of a poorly executed play, or puts his hands on a kid out of anger. That where the real crime would be.
