“But coach, its not just the size of the boat… ”

One basketball coach former basketball coach seemed to think that its all about having the biggest cajones on the court. 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”

The coach also stated that he felt the game for which this was his idea of a team bonding experience, was:

“About who had the biggest (male genitalia) in town”

Another claim is that this is a typical locker room activity for high school basketball teams across the country. I did not personally play high school basketball (I was a football man myself), so since everything I read is true, and all basketball teams fondle themselves as ‘motivation’ it is without hesitation that I say that all of you are sick, sick people. Also, I will never again shake the hand of a high school basketball player (former or current), because I do, in fact, know where that hand has been.
