I've sat a box of tissues out for those who need it and I'll start:

My high school football coach was a real hard ass.   Suburban KC high school, he won a couple of state titles in the 1970's, multiple D1 players came through during that time.   He used to grab guys by the facemask and shake the bejeezus belt out of them while chewing a$$, we had "fight drill" which was basically the entire team in a circle while 2 guys literally went out and fought each other in the middle.   He'd say stuff about guys families to berate them.  

The basketball coach used to drill basketballs into the back of your head if you turned away from the ball on defense, and the assistant used to deliver hard forearm shivers to your chest if you didn't call out a pick.  Plenty of verbal abuse from the assistant coach.

I . . . I . . . can't continue . . .

My cross country coach grabbed me by the back of the neck when i was complaining about a workout. He even told us all the "suck it up" and quit acting like little babies.



I should have reported him but I needed to man up. I mean, it was rough and tumble cross country. 

[sonofdaxjones]

Wow . . . I am surprised you didn't file charges Book . . . you're one tough dude.

[wiley03]

Snapped my finger in two, they thought it was just dislocated, told me to get back in line and quit acting like a *****.  Tried to catch ball and damn near put me on my knee.  Coach, grabbed my finger said look away.  Yanked on it...figured out it wasn't dislocated when it felt like jello (his description on the way to the hospital)...he laughed when he realized it was broke  

[sonofdaxjones]

Wiley you should really post more and thanks.

Okay who is next??

My baseball coach told me "you think your the sh1t but your just a lil turd" was pretty  at the time now its just hilarious to think back on.

[scottb1987]

My freshman football coach after a practice that wasn't up to his standards told us that if we weren't excited to be in pads, we had no balls.

[sonofdaxjones]

Time is a great healer Abana . . . and scottb . . . you're a bigger man for what you went through.

When I was 7 I fell down and said crap.

The coach spanked me :(

coach was my dad fwiw

My summer baseball coach discovered the fact that we were drinking beer in our hotel room.  He confiscated our beer, sat down by the pool,  and drank every one of them in clear view of us.  It's still hard for me to talk about.  I haven't been the same since.  That single incident is solely responsible for my crack habit and resulting career in street walking. 

[Brock Landers]

I played football in junior high before realizing I wasn't growing as fast as the other kids and  would get killed soon.  Anyway, if you happened to screw up in practice one of the coaches liked to grab your facemask and yank your head in his direction so his screams could be sent directly into your face.  Sometimes he would give your facemask an extra shake or two, or a nice shove when he was done yelling.  This was junior fracking high....to 12 and 13 year old kids.  Nobody complained to mommy and daddy that I know of.

So basically Arist Wright is either an enormous FP, or this whole "incident" is just being used by Lew to turn public opinion against Mangino and make the firing that much easier.

Freshamn football at MHS.  We didn't have a soul on the team that could kick and my childhood hero was Steve Willis.  So enter the right tackle as the kicker.  We were practicing kickoff coverage one day and I kicked the ball, hung back like a kicker does and got blindsided.  Knocked my flat on my face.  I let out a F&$^ pretty loud for sure.  I was ripped off the ground by the coach who was a good foot shorter than me and built like Mangino (manhattanites know who this is).  He proceeded to make my one work look small, the facemask grab and yank, pushing me around etc.  "You want to be the king of crap?"  I was running laps and sprints the rest of the afternoon.  I would say it was pretty well deserved.

What if Tony would have said something like: "If you're gonna talk like that why don't you go back to the hood and hang out with your hommies?"

Because that's a whole different deal than getting grabbed by the facemask and running a few sprints.

Our tennis coach once told us not to do peyote

He would always come up behind you and pinch us on the back of our arms. Another coach abuse story.

 My freshman football coach was also the varsity wrestling coach who had won 3 straight state championships. I also had him 4th hour for Oklahoma History class. If one of his players fell asleep, he'd turn his state championsip rings upside down on his finger and hit you on the top of the head with them. Did it once, and never again did I fall asleep in (that) class. He drew blood when he hit our qb.

same school and class as catdoctor, different coach (not my coach for any sports but was my PE teacher and weightlifting teacher), 3 stories...

1) with PE/weightlifting teacher outside in ball field walking inside. he said something like "i ain't got none of those." i then said "well...i guess we now know why you are a PE teacher." he looked at me for two seconds, grabbed me, picked me up, body slammed me onto the field and repeatedly slammed my head against the ground.

2) someone threw a dirty towel on him when his back was turned in the weightlifting room. he turned around and saw three people. i was one (i did not throw the towel). he chased me down. grabbed me and repeatedly slammed my head against the ground. guess it was his "go to"

3) friends birthday. weightlifting room again. he grabs my friend by the balls, holds him down, takes the copenhagen or whatever out of his mouth and inserts it into my friends mouth.

all the same guy who may or may not have been the football coach at mhs a year or two ago.

Damn Daris . . .

[Pete]

My 8th grade football coach gathered us all around in a huddle. He then pokes two holes in the ground.  He pointed at the first hole and said "this is a hole in the ground."  He pointed at the second hole and said "this is your butt."  He points at me and says "which one is your butt."  I pointed at the second hole.

He screams at me "THAT'S A GOD DAMN HOLE IN THE GROUND, YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR BUTT FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND!"  Everyone laughed at me.  It was a trick question.  I was humiliated. 

The only thing that comforts me to this day is that he is dead.

I wish there had been a "Lew Perkins" at my junior high school.

During a game in 1998 non con, I was marching in pre-game and when I did the turn after the first Wildcat victory I marched backwards too fast and ran into the person behind me and fell on my back. I made a quick save and nothing bad happened.

That next Tuesday when Dr. Traz was breaking down our film of pre-game he singled me out with a very red laser pointer and everyone laughed. I cried and wet my pants.

[fatty fat fat]

Oh my.

What if it was your parents.

 

Let's just say there weren't happy I was slow.

[Diamond Dave]

The facemask grab and yank was a classic. Always managed to piss me off even more than I already was.

Our JV coach was 60-something years old and an ex kicker. While we were in lines stretching, he would stand behind us, punt the ball as high as he could, and hope to hit one of us. The pain wasn't all that bad but if you got one on the head it sure rattled you. To add insult to injury, you would hear his old man smokers laugh from 30 yards behind you.

If you were a Cornerback (which I was), if you didn't call out the crackback block on the Linebacker, he got to hit you with a 20 yard start from behind to teach you a lesson. That one was the worst IMHO. You caught on pretty quick.

[The Kaiser]

we lost a "friendly" to Norway prior to the olympics, and coach made us skate until one of my teammates told him we represented the USA...everybody puked before it was over...the janitor got so tired of it he turned off the lights on us.

[sonofdaxjones]

Fatty . . . sometimes parents can show us the toughest of tough love.  

[sonofdaxjones]

Here's another . . . JV basketball coach was all pi$$ed off at us, made us run suicides until everybody was about to puke and then told us to go puke on our own time and ran us some more. 

Sniff . . .

I wondered what kind of lies must have been flying around for him to get fired.  Thanks!

Lew Lane could rip your head off like nobody I've ever seen.  Not even in movies.  Butch can't hold a candle to Lew.
