Embeded video doesn't work, but click the link and it should work on their site. Also, Warpath, there is not way in hell that kid is anywhere near the size of the coach. Kid only weights 186. Looks like he may have hit the kid just inside the collar of his pads giving the kid no protection. Wouldn't have been a problem if the coach had also been wearing shoulder pads, but as it was, his shoulder was able to exert all of his force into one small area.

Hindsight is always 20/20. But, I call again on this question; do you think it was malicious or even a lapse in judgement on the part of the coach?

Malicious no, lapse in judgement maybe. Most coaches kind of act out hits to show players what they want to show them, or throw a shoulder while standing still. Not take a 10yd. running start at them.

No, not at all.

The kid took the blow high, instead of delivering it himself low, like he had probably been told numerous times.

The Dad should back the coach up, tell the kid to "buck up" or he is going to be father of an X box wimp.
