Funny part of the whole thing is that the kid tweeted the truth. Punished for honesty? Lincoln does fold like a dirty shirt every year when they play somebody good. They beat up on North & Roosevelt, start acting cocky...then the BOOM!! Reality sets in as Dowling/Ankeny/Valley/SE Polk or any other metro school that's slightly decent puts a serious beat down on the boys. Coach M is an arrogant butt.

First of all this is all one side of the story for the most part in this report and, Mihalovich even says so himself. Second if corporal punishment is running for an extra 25-30 minutes then ever football coach anywhere is guilty of it. Third is swearing is bad at practice then all coaches everywhere are again guilty. Also i guess i missed where he told his players to harm the other kid, sounds like a bunch of speculation at best that won't hold up anywhere.
Now moving the car is stupid at best bu the other things in there are questionable at best. Even another Lincoln coach calling most of the report a lie.

Maybe if you are not on the football team it might be ok to post something stupid.....but to be apart of the team and do it shows how dumb this kid is..

Both Coach Alessio and Coach Bianchi deny they ever heard concerns regarding the tweet expressed by other players prior to the alleged incidents on Monday, September 3, 2012. Only the accused coaches have provided any statements to suggest the decision to have the Complainant address the varsity football team and recite his tweet was intended to quell a disturbance among student athletes that was already in progress. In fact, statements reportedly made by the Respondent during the time that Complainant addressed the team appear to have the intent of inciting the varsity players. Therefore, Respondent’s[The Coach's] claims, that a concern for the Complainant’s well-being and a fear of retaliation prompted the decision to have the Complainant recite the tweet in front of the team, are not credible.
From the report. Stop defending this lunatic TC.
Maybe you should go cry to your mommy about it Ghost. Exact same thing happened on my team in 8th freaking grade. Wasn't on twitter, but through the grapevine. Kid got berated in front of the entire team. I'll be damned if I didn't see that kid at a sports bar in Ankeny last football season. I couldn't believe he survived the horror!

That explains how you grew up to be such a big, strong man.
Hey Ghost...here's $20....you read the report, you know what to do with it.

When the story first broke I figured it was some punk kid who acted like a baby and the coach was in the right. After reading that report, I was completely wrong. If you read the report, there are so many times the coach is caught lying it is almost funny. Most of what he says is contradicted by other coaches and players. With his history he shouldn't have still been coaching when this incident happened anyway. They are lucky they were given this opportunity to fire him before someone got hurt. Intimidating members of the chain gang because they told on you for cursing and being abusive to players? Having players pick up a person's car and move it because they parked to close to you? Great example of a positive authority figure.

At first I was on the coach's side. But after reading the reports.........this guy is completely out of control and has no business coaching kids at any level in any sport.
The running issue is about 10% of the report. By itself it is nothing. The other things he has done will absolutely blow your mind.

On a side note I have been fighting for years schools need to start teaching a class on the responsibilities of social media! I am glad I didn't have Facebook as a teen. They need to have a class in Jr. High, High school, and college. You can't just go the KF route and just out right band it. Then again I think colleges would do a great service if they thought a class in corporate benefits.
That's my off topic somewhat on topic two cent rant.

The kid is an idiot and so is the coach.

I read the report and 1hawkeye1 is right; the running thing is 10%.
Have we forgotten what high school sports and youth sports are for? It is to mainly help shape and mold great young men. You can not shape a young man when you do not act like a man yourself.

This I agree with. The kid should have known better. That being said, I still think the coach is nuts, there are tons of ways to handle this better.

Trav, this coach is an abusive, borderline sadistic *******. Don't defend him, it makes you seem callous.

Right. And one of these individuals is (allegedly) a mature adult with a background in juvenile education.
The other is...wait for it...a kid.

The kid is also 15. I have to deal with idiotic 15 year olds all the time. None of the coping techniques in my arsenal are trying to get other kids to beat down the idiot for making my butt hurt.
