I have talked to him on multiple times and his knowledge of the game is second to none. That being said, NOTHING excuses what he did and if I were to ever see him again would never engage him in conversation.

A coach getting picked up for a DUI and "this person" as you call him are two completely different animals, to be sure. His knowledge of the game is indeed second to none, but in this case I'd rather settle for second, especially as regards my daughter. The parents who had any clue of what he was accused of and still put their girls into his reach ought to be tried in court, too. It's simply unbelievable.

PS "This Person" ended up at my high school, after his stint in the pokey. Even then, 14 and 15 year old girls knew what he was interested in. Sounds like he just never grew past it.
