If you ask me, my coach can slap me in the face and throw chairs all he wants.. just leave my cash and prizes alone. A basketball coach in Monument, Colorado (anyone remember me telling you that Colorado is, well… special) allegedly ignored this rule and hit his players in their happy places at every practice, using his hand, tennis balls, and basketballs.
A student in documents said Burr would ask them, “What is the capital of Thailand?” When they would answer “Bangkok,” he would hit them in the groin.
But this coach is much more creative than just limiting himself to ball crushing; he also enjoyed showing his players porno as well as driving the players to games with the windows rolled down in the winter after dousing them with water.
Its more than obvious that someone didn’t get hugged enough as a kid, and I have to believe that living in Colorado had something to do with it too. Well, at least he taught his team geography…

Granted its a little nicer than giving them the ol’ Bangkok geography lesson like some other deft strategist did. But all the same, how do you not see your impending firing if this is your idea of a motivational speech? He then required his players to all stand up and put their hands down their pants and check their manhood… Asked if that was an appropriate motivational tactic, the coach responded by saying “we won” […]

[…] Most of you are probably too old for this trick, which is why a Colorado high school basketball coach tried the trick on young, impressionable minds, bashing them in the groin and, just to make the general crotch area suffer even further, showing them porn. The former coach, Greg Burr, 28, was arrested and charged with “sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust,” and if that sounds like too strong wording for punching some kids in the nuts, well, you haven’t been punched in the nuts recently.
