March 8, 200917 yr PRP Player who died wasn't dehydrated.... Instead, a prescription drug Max was taking for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder most likely triggered the heat stroke that led to his death in August, because it contained amphetamine, which can cause overheating, said Dr. George Nichols, Kentucky's former chief medical examiner. Just to note...the experts who contend he wasn't dehydrated are a former CME and another doctor retained by the defense. The experts for the family argue their conclusions are flawed.
March 8, 200917 yr Interesting last line to the article: "Michele Crockett said she filed her lawsuit because she was looking for answers," Hoback said. "This is the answer." Why didn't she insist on an autopsy then?

In my mind without an autopsy there is no way to say for sure, regardless of what the family experts say, so in my mind that would constitute reasonable doubt and the coach gets off.

March 8, 200917 yr This is very interesting. What were the specifics of the fitness test? Our fitness test would consist of 10 half gassers. To complete a half gasser you start on the sideline run to the other sideline and back. All 10 of them had to be made in time. The times i believe were backs and receivers had 14 seconds, linebackers and TE's 16 seconds, linemen 18 seconds and 300+lbs. players had 20 seconds. Your group would run all 10 sprints in a row with 15 seconds between each sprint. This is also a very common college fitness test that numerious colleges in the state do.
March 9, 200917 yr At Western, we had to run a mile, then 20 - 40's, and followed by 10 - 110's.....it was the worst day of the year, but then you were done.

Dr. Nichols is known as "Dr. Death," has a son that plays or played football for Trinity, and is one heck of a witness on the witness stand.

I know when Duffy was still at Henderson they did the same thing or something very similar. I think his distance was 40 yards instead of sideline to sideline. Not sure what if anything Clay does.

March 10, 200917 yr What would we have this coach do? Make up lies, acuse someone else? This is the first step to a resolution. Yes, I know, that a child died and that can not be undone. He has already lied about it. In one of the first interviews he had he denied everything. So he has already set his own precidence and showing his word can not be trusted. This clown needs to be made an example of and let all the coaches across the state see that this negligence will not be stood for. He has no business being involved in the lives of young impressionable kids. You are way off base here.
March 10, 200917 yr Author You are way off base here. You have your opinion , and I have mine. I saw in the paper where he denied the allegations of denying water to the players. To me that is a bold faced lie especially when he come out later and said he did deny water. Plain and simple he doesn't deserve to be a coach.

Had they just had a water break 10 minutes ago and then wanted another and he said no? Or had he not allowed any water for hours? There is a big difference here.
March 10, 200917 yr Dr. Nichols is known as "Dr. Death," has a son that plays or played football for Trinity, and is one heck of a witness on the witness stand. Sounds like there is enough reasonable doubt right there.
