Students, parents claim University of Utah ignored coach's abusive behavior

That sounds awesome!
Now if he taped clubs to your arms and legs, and kept you out there in a thunderstorm, that might get him an email if you were my daughter.

Read the article. There were swimmers passing out and almost dying from being forced to do underwaters with their arms tied to boards. This is even worse than making runners do extra wind sprints. Well, I guess it could be comparable if runners are forced to do them in 100+ temperatures to the point of collapsing from heat stroke, which might result in heart failure and death.
How the university could ostensibly "investigate" and find nothing wrong is beyond comprehension. Confront the coach (who obviously will deny everything), then install a camera over the pool area (and I'm not talking in the locker room). This abuse was out in the open; the coach felt 100% comfortable in bullying and intimidating these student athletes. And even more so after being found "innocent" after the university's shoddy investigation. I'll bet attorneys are lining up to file mutli-million $ suits against the University. Sorry, but this coach is as bad as Sandusky. He nearly KILLED a couple of people. He needs to be abused in prison for 25 years on sexual assault and attempted murder charges. And the AD definitely needs to step down, if not also be criminally charged.

My joke post had nothing to do with the article. I can see what you thought I was getting at though.
It sounds terrible. Shockingly so.
It just sounds so over the top bad that I don't see how one of the parents wouldnt have physically put a stop to it, or done more then send emails.
I'm with you in that I have no clue how this could not be followed up on in a serious thorough manner. No clue. When kids are going to the hospital and they are getting complaints from students and parents and lives are in danger in any way.... you have to find out. Even if you have a hunch that someone could be in danger and you have nothing solid to go on, you have to look into it.
I agree that someone has to go, and probably up to Dr. Hill. If he is the one with final responsibility over this, he and others should be held accountable no matter how good he does or did in other areas of the job. Sad, but true. That sort of stuff cannot go on, or be swept under a rug.
If this is all true, and it sounds like it... the dude is a creep and a freak. That's just sick to get pleasure out of doing that to those kids.
Nothing wrong with that, even Socrates, Plato and Aristotle are innerwebz ideetz and don't get my geenyus jokes.
If I don't explain my dizzying intellect, you low IQYOU types will never know whatz going on.
and they need explaining. . . . j/k
this thread is about kids in danger and administrators who can't be bothered to give a damn.
don't go AWOl from my thread, I'll hunt you down and harass you back into servile meaninglessness. . . . .

My apologies.
Golf can also be a tough sport. All those screaming kids running around wielding clubs. And the rotors on the windmill can conk you on the head if you get too close.
