I saw this story on the MAC Board and it completly shocked me.
PLEASSANTVILLE, N.J.- A basketball coach who gave a 13 year old player a "Crybaby Award" will be banned from coaching, sent to sensitivity training, and ordered to make a public apology. Schools superintendent Edwin Coyle revealed the punishments yesturday. Whether the coach loses his job remains to be seen. James Guillen, 24, a third- year special education teacher at the Pleasantville Middle School, had a trophy made up showing an infant atop a pedestal, with a plaque bearing the inscription of player Terrance Philo Jr. and the words "Crybaby Award" Terrance was spelled "Terrance." After summoning the boy to attend the April 24 seasong ending banquet, Guillen gave him the trophy, humiliating him in front of 25 teamates and parents.
Im glad I'm not the kids parent, I dont think I coulda stopped myself from hurting that coach very, VERY badly.
