Did the kids follow his advice?
Although I would like to agree with Smitty, I can't. This is like the coach telling the kids to foul 'em at the end of a close game. I think we need to call the game that's being played, however, I may be hyperaware of the situation.
Thanks, Stan

This is nothing like the coach telling the kids to foul at the end of the game. This is the coach telling the kids to purposely injure the opposing team. Let's say a fan hears what the coach told those kids and saw that you heard it too. Then one of the kids goes out and breaks the jaw of one of the kids on the other team. Can you say lawsuit? I'm not afraid to toss the coach for those remarks. If you don't, you're telling those kids you condone his behavior. Wrong message. There are more important things than worrying about your reputation and "making the right call". I hear a coach tell a kid to break someone's jaw, the coach is done coaching.
