Around SBN: Penn State Recruiting Roundup Is Set For A Big Junior Day

COACH DEMANDS PANTS. WELL, WHO DOESN'T?

Pants, dignity. On this we build our republic.

Overzealous coaching is something we understand. Stealing someone's pants outside the bounds of a friendly prank is not. Curt McKinney, coach of the Cincinnati rec league Midwest Marauders, is a pants-stealing, batshit-crazy bastard, according to one Aucherae Washington, a 10 year old booted from practice for walking down a hill during sprint drills at the Marauders' practice. The saga of a boy who lost his pants follows in brief (boxers, actually, but on with the story:)

The boy said his coach berated him in front of the other players.

"’You're too slow for the team, you're no good for the team,’" Aucherae said the coach told him. "He told me to take off my stuff and give it back to him, and he said, ‘While you're at it, take off my pants.’"

Aucherae said he complied with the coach’s order in front of his teammates and some parents and took a seat in the bleachers, wearing only a T-shirt and boxer shorts.

He said he walked to a neighbor’s house nearby because he didn’t want cheerleaders to see him in his underwear.

"He wanted a pair of pants," said neighbor Yvonne Workman. "He was upset, and he seemed like he was nervous and he didn't know what to do."

The coach has not been suspended because he has not been charged with a crime in the case, according to league officials. He should be, of course: the kid is ten years old, playing football for fun, and obviously mismatched with a zealot of a coach who stripped him of his dignity in front of his teammates before making him walk home pantsless at the age of ten. Remember that blogs are the little invisible words in between the lines of regular newsprint, and in this case, those words read: Oh my god, what a complete and utter waste of carbon this man is.

And if you don't think everyone in life wants a little dignity and a pair of pants at the bare minimum...then you, sir, are not part of this man's Republic of Awesome. Seek citizenship elsewhere.

This coach obviously doesn’t have time for pants.

I know this is a horrible story and all, but it puts me in mind of an old The State skit in which Michael Ian Black is striking out with the ladies until someone suggests, “Have you thought about wearing pants?” Then Cannonball by The Breeders kicked in, and the rest is comedy history.

What’s the difference betwwen the Catholic Church, JC Penny, and Curt McKinney?

The Catholic Church and JC Penny only have little boys pants 1/2 off.

Thank you. Be sure to tip your waitress and I’ll see you all in the 7th Circle of Hell (blasphemy).

Nice to know the parents in attendance were such a big help. Youth coaching is fucking terrifying. If y’all aren’t doing it, you need to, because there are a lot more guys like this out there than there should be.

Am I the only one that’s appalled by the fact that the kid was WALKING during sprits. DOWN the hill? This kid deserved to get his pants taken. Hell, this isn’t intramurals, brother! This is Cincinnati rec league football brother! You’re a Midwest Marauders! Whoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fat boy’s just lucky he wasn’t wearing coaches drawers, too.

Myself, I always thought the Black’s Captain Monterrey Jack sketches were hilariously underrated.

I’m not usually one who thinks that violence solves anything, but Mr. McKinney should be on the receiving end of the “well, officer, his ass needed a kicking” corollary here…

I help run a youth football league and we had a coach for a 9/10 year old league that was measuring kids’ body fat. I shit you not, he emailed to tell us about it like he was proud. He also runs about thirty formations and has over a hundred plays. So far he is 0-2 and has lost by 30+ in both games.

Keegan -

I coached a youth league (2&3 graders on one team, 4&5 on another) and I had a grand total of three plays I ran on offense. SOL Pass, Direct RB shotgun snap and center sneak (flag football, mind you). Defense was mostly man-cover. How many championships did I win in two years of head coaching? 1, and appeared in another. I also terrorized our coach who was like your example . . . simplicity pissed him off because he couldn’t stop it at all.

by That 5.0 Guy (Now At Work!) on Sep 11, 2007 1:38 PM EDT reply actions  

5.0 guy,

The two teams who beat him maybe have a combined total of 15 plays and most of them are the same. Dive right and left, sweep right and left, qb sneak, a pass play, maybe a second pass play and a reverse. He too gets so pissed about losing that bad. They wanted to use head sets to call the plays from one coach to another (there is no booth) One coach can be behind the play but is usually near the sideline when it starts. The guy is crazy and what scares me is that most of the parents were okay with it.

More related to the article, youth sports is kinda terrifying these days. I mean, you get this alpha male crazies who take football way, way WAY too seriously, and think that because he’s drawn up more plays than any six year old kind is ever going to remember that he’s the next Bill Callahan.

Hell, when I started playing basketball I was the slowest, least athletic person on the team. By the time I finished, I was about the fastest. That’s what this shit is for, get the kids out and let them play. Not to satisfy your fucking ego.

If I actually had the time I would consider volunteering to coach just because I hate to see shit like this. Anybody remember autistic kid + beanball a year or two ago?

What’s up with the weaknut league officials that won’t suspend him? Everyone leans on the crutch of the police before they can stand up and do anything.

While I don’t agree with the coach’s decision, I will say this: if that were my kid, and he told me WHY he had his pants taken away, I would be just as pissed at the kid as I would be at the coach.

I also coached at Air Force for years, utilizing my patented “Option Left, Right, Middle, Punt” offense.

Keegan -

I was always afraid of the parents. I mean, I was trying to win but always did my best to find a way to get all the kids involved and having fun. But sometimes . . . Lord, some of those parents want their kids to be winning by 90+. What the hell is that?

Plus, when those parents are cops and they glare at you for not running it up, it’s crazy.

In High school, totally unrelated, I have a parent charge the field during a playoff football game and punch my right guard in the head. True Story.

I’m from Florida and heard about this from a family member. This coach should be ejected from the league for life and not allowed to coach with any organization. This is appalling!!!

The league needs to get a backbone and stand up for the kids they are suppose to be protecting and dismiss this coach immediately.

And we wonder why American kids are fat. Let’s see: A pants-less walk through the neighborhood (past cheerleaders!) vs. Xbox, Skittles, Mountain Dew and no asshole coaches humiliating you. I’d rather be a fatty.

Sorry 1980’s. I’m Protestant sooooo…

That joke could’ve been done in the 1580’s(delete JC Penny and insert storekeeper in town square) and it would still be funny.

What you going to do? Excommunicate me.

by Bully Van De Graaff on Sep 11, 2007 6:24 PM EDT reply actions  

While I beleive the Coach has every right to dismiss or “cut” a player, this Coach deserves to be reprimanded and removed from a position where he has responsibility for children.

They (the Youth League) have decided not to punish him for the child leaving in his underwear, because they don’t beleive that it is what the Coach intended when he told the child he was off the team and to give him back the football equipment, and that the Coach supposedly walked away before the child left.

At a minimum this Coach should have ensured he knew where and what the children, HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR, were doing! At BEST he was neglectful of a 10 year old child (by my calculations that would make the child a 4th grade elementary school student) who was entrusted to his care.

Even if the Youth League won’t hold him to his duty, I hope the police charge him or the child’s parent’s take legal action against him and the Youth League which seems more interested in covering their collective butts than in doing the right thing on behalf of our children.
