We're a nation of 316 million people. That's a massive number, so to think that anything is never going to happen again is naive. That doesn't make it right, but don't count on it stopping.

As bad as his behavior may have been, there's a lot going on here. The girl's mom was in favor of and encouraged the relationship with the coach...The mother "acted as a chaperone to help facilitate a quasi-dating relationship between the two. When confronted by police about the relationship, the mother told police, 'this is (expletive)' and 'age shouldn't matter.'"

Before we horsewhip this guy, we should probably bring the mother along for a few lashes as well.

I'm from Appalachia. It does not apply. Apparently they are not related.

In some locations, a coach/teacher/etc. is prohibited by law to have a relationship with a student irregardless of age (As Adam and MutantDucky have already stated here). If I recall, the idea is that the coach/teachr is an authority figure who might take advantage of that status (such as promising a passing grade on an exam or promising a starting spot in the upcoming crosstown rivalry game).

It's probably not against the law, but workplace romances can also be difficult, especially when one of the romantics is the other one's superior. This could lead to sexual harassment claims against the company.

Single basketball officials who date hot, single, moms need to block that school off their schedule.

This is true in Texas. It is against the law for a teacher/coach to have an "inappropriate" relationship with a student. It matters not how old the student or the teacher is. Our youngest teachers can be 21 years old and a majority of seniors turn 18 before they graduate (you can stay in school until you are 21 in some cases) so it is watched closely.
