I think maybe some of you guys are missing the point. These parents went through the proper channels - they went to the AD, the Principal, the school board - not because their kid wasn't "getting playing time", but because the coach was and is a known alcoholic who gets behind the wheel of his car drunk on a regular basis. When the school - which has a pretty interesting line of these kinds of problems - wouldn't do anything about it, the parents took steps.

Do I agree with the parents - no, not really. But I can understand why they did it. Would any of you want this clown coaching your kids, telling them that if they break the rules on drinking they will get kicked off the team?
