Link to story?

Horrible situation to begin with. I grew up with the kid's father...can't imagine the agony he's going through.

WOW!

Uh Oh:eek:. This will not end well.

I wish the best for all parties involved. I know that the family of the young man just wants to have answers. As a parent I would want the same.

This is sad. He better have done something VERY negligent besides conducting a practice to warrant possibly getting five years in prison. I mean, if he denied them water AT ALL, made them run EXTREME amounts and saw them all puking and laying on the ground then hmm obviously. I dont know the circumstances or what happened that day, but this is just sad on all parts. RIP to the boy who died.

Sad all around...horrible for the family...but also every coach's worst nightmare.

 

I coach young kids in Little League, USSSA competitive baseball, and YMCA basketball...you try to put the thought out of your mind that this could ever happen. But really...what's the saying?..."There but for the grace of God go I."

 

Prayers for Max's family, and for the Stinsons as well. Nothing will bring Max back, but I hope this thing plays out in a rationale manner, not an emotional one. Let's not ruin another life without being sure that punishment is truly deserved.

It isn't so cut and dried from what I have read of news reports. The coach gave the players 3 ten minute water breaks within a one hour period. The temp was below state guidelines.

This is very scary stuff.

Remember the line about indictments and a ham sandwich.

Very scary indeed. My question is, if the coach complied with the state's heat index rules, how can he possibly be charged with negligence?

The state index rules really protects the state more than it protects the coach. He could still be convicted for negligent homicide if the court finds that he behaved in an indifferent manner to a dangerous situation that threatened the health of the kids whose safety was entrusted to his care.

 

It's like driving your car and hitting a pedestrian who's jaywalking. They may have been in the wrong, but you could still wind up being charged if a grand jury believes you didn't exercise the due diligence required to drive a car.

Did they ever determine the exact cause of death?

:confused::confused:

 

Haven't heard that one.

 

Talk about a small world... the kid's dad was my best friend when I was a kid...and now, all these years later, my wife works with the coach's wife.

 

The pain is real for both families... prayers for both.
