Coach told players to 'check their manhood'
Associated Press

LEEDS, Maine (AP) - A high school basketball coach was fired after telling his players at halftime to reach into their pants to "check their manhood," administrators said.

Leavitt Area High School Principal Patrick Hartnett said coach Mike Remillard told the varsity boys Jan. 23 that "tonight's game was about who had the biggest (male genitalia) in town."
"He then required his players to all stand up and put their hands down their pants and check their manhood," Hartnett said in the statement, which was read to school board members Thursday by Superintendent Thomas J. Hanson a day after the coach was dismissed.

All but one player followed the coach's instructions, Hartnett said. The team won the game.

Remillard, who was in his fourth season as varsity coach, called the pep talk "normal locker room banter from Fort Kent, Maine, to San Diego, California," but said he still should not have done it.

"Was that tactic appropriate? No. And I'm paying the price for it," Remillard said.

Makes the whole Coach Schoeder giving licks to guys in their jocks look like first degree murder doesn't it? wow...they would have freaking hung that guy if he did that now days. I don't even think he was punished for that was he??

Think about that dude...that was roughly 20 years ago...not that long in my mind. And there was Jr. High coach giving players licks with a wooden paddle...IN THEIR JOCK STRAPS:eek: and nothing else. And for what? Because we got an "unsatifactory" CONDUCT (not an overall class grade...just conduct) grade...wow. Seems like that should have happened 120 years ago...not just 20.

did he have holes drilled in the paddle to cut the wind resistance for more effective licks? our coach did!

Don't remember that part...
I do remember kids coming out of the "Cub's Den" (locker room) with blood literally running down their legs. We had one kid that was hit in the junk on accident...jacked him up baaaaad. Sounds barbaric doesn't it? They did nothing to the coach....nothing.

That is a true story. I can still see some of my friends running out screaming with blood running down their legs. It made the front news and everything and he still was not fired. Never let me see that guy I will fck him up that is a promise. Hey wide here is 2 initials that had blood running down their legs. kc, and jg

[pack0808]

In fact there is still one that still coaches at LHS. He has been part of the football staff since forever. I saw him at mcdonalds the other day (true story) and I almost smacked him then. Only a matter of time. I am a forgiving person but as I aged I realized how cowardly those piece of ***** were. Don't let me see him where I have a chance to smack him because I promise you it will happen. ask wide if I am lying.

[wide-e-wide]

Wouldn't blame you at all if you did bro. That is still painful to think about...and they wonder why we sucked. Went 0-10 scoring a grand total of 6pts the entire season. We crossed the 50 twice:eek:
I have no doubt that you would do it...it would be very hard for me to see them out in public and not do or say something. I can only imagine what would happen to them now days.

I was telling my wife a story about getting licks back in school and my 9y old daughter said "what's that?" She had never heard of licks...and thought a paddle was what you played ping-pong with...hahaha
Those days are long gone man...
Hard to believe that they used to call us up in front of the whole class...tell you to bend over and proceed to paddle you in front of the everybody.
The walk back to your desk was the worst. Trying to fight back tears...and then you had to sit down:eek: Butt still stinging and tingling...you had to be a special kind of jackass to get those more than once. I know it's hard to believe...but I had more than my share of licks.;) To be honest the only thing I feared was my Daddy finding out. That's double [censored]-whippin' then...wooo-hooo you don't want the belt to compound that fresh [censored]-whippin' you just got...damn that's some pain brother.

yup it should be classified as cruel and unusual punishment i also feared my dad cause i knew no one could bring the pain like he could, with kids nowadays theres nothing a good ol' fashion lick and some whippins wont solve atleast thats what worked for me

[CoveMom]

You all do realize that state law still allows corporal punishment at school, don't you? Most districts choose not to use it. But it is allowed. I read that recently somewhere.

Mr. Rumbo broke his paddle (yes it had the holes in it) on ME in 9th grade because I smarted off and said, "I bet you can't break that paddle on me." He could. And he did. And he laughed. After it quit hurting, I did too. It must have been cracked, because he only got me once. Said he couldn't wait to get to the teacher's lounge to brag about giving licks to the Editor of the School Paper. :eek: He gave the paddle to me at the end of the year. I wonder if my mother still has it. Everyone that received its "wisdom" had to sign it. :)

What that coach did to you boys was criminal. That wasn't "licks" that was sadism with a bit of sexual undertones. Sick. :mad:

I remember those days too :eek:

Sure made you change your attitude knowing what was expected to come in the next six weeks if things didn't change. More blood on the seat and a rear end so sore you couldn't walk right for days..

Kept us on the straight and level. A little corpral punishment would sure put some of these cocky attitudes back in their place. I wouldn't mind seeing it make a come back to be honest. Those days are long gone though

[Bobcat81]

No kiddin! That stuff made a lasting impression to say the least. Lumps in your throat and all. Like your smokin tail end somehow made it's way up through your body to the back of your eyeballs.. and was squeezing those little tear pockets forcing them to do their thing.

To my regret I WAS that jackass, Man I don't even know how many times I got licks in Jr. High. The worst day ever, we had this old coot named Mr. Powell, I think he was getting about three social security checks a week along with his salary. Well he's writing on the blackboard and I had several of those little jelly like day glo erasers and I figured it would be a good idea to launch them at his head. First one just missed but got him on the rebound off of the board. He was really pissed and while demanding to know who did it he looked at nobody but me. He then stated that if it happened again the guilty party would get maimed. I waited a while and just at the point of release he turned and looked right at me. It landed sqarely upon one of his big ol' man breasts.

Furious, he came at me at top speed, all 2mph of it. He told me he was going to wear my butt out. I told him he couldn't wearout a pair of shoes. Off to the office we go. He explained to the principal what I did and said and the pricipal told him to leave an impression on me. His fury had turned into steely determination and I began to worry that this old codger might still have enough gas in the tank to light my buns. Three licks it was to be and he asked if I still thought that he couldn't hurt me. Wising up a bit I conceded "maybe." WHAM! The force of that geezers assault on my buttocks nearly knocked my head in the wall.

As I gasped for air and fought off the tears, STRIKE TWOOOO! AHHHHHH! No more attempt to fight back the tears they were now a mere encumberence to my babbling begging of forgiveness and assurances that it never would happen again. "I'm sure it won't" was the ageless sadists reply. "Now bend back over" he said with a glint in his eye that was part Santa Claus and all Satan. Wham! My rear had just been reduced to pate. (I will never eat that stuff) Walking back with him it was silent except for my sniffling as I tried to wipe the evidence of his victory from my face and the creaking of his bones. Walking back into the classroom everyone looked at me, those that were my friends just looked down, trying to lessen my indignation. This one kid that I really did not like wore this satisfied smirk that I wasn't able to knock off until the Summer.

But it gets worse. Going down the hall to football practice my friends reassured me with "You know what's going to happen if Coach knows about this." Like he wouldn't know. Now I'm beyond panic and and I confided that Old Man Powell had delivered the worst licks I had ever received. One of my more loyal if less bright buds came up with this jewel. Three of my crew would give me their wallets and along with mine I would have 2 in each of my back pockets. All that extra padding would have to lessen the blows. "But you know what he's going to do, hell wait until I have nothing but a jock stap on then pulverize what's left om my former backcheeks." "Well you never know with him and anyway you might as well be prepared."

I passed him going into the locker room and his expression gave nothing away. Getting to my locker I decided that I would get my uniform on as fast as possible so's not to be caught jockclad. I had my shirt unbuttoned when the summons came. He asked me if what he had heard was true and as I was admitting such with as much spin as I dare could muster he asks what kind of punishment did I expect. Offering that I had already been punished quickly fell on deaf ears. "GET OVER HERE" he barked and knowing what was going to happen I was both terrified and also relieved that I was protected by far more than a jock. Three more was the sentence.

No matter what there were to be no tears this time, not here. He made it in quick but numbing succession and as I walked to my locker I could feel the respect around me, 6 licks in one afternoon, surely a new record and I was taking it like a man. "Come back here." More chilling words I had never heard. I was told to empty my pockets and the thumping of my racing heartbeat was in harmony of my soon to be discovered accompolices. "We'll deal with this after practice" was the verdict.

O.K. I'll skip through all the predictions bandied about during that endless practice and go to the decision. We were all declared complete dumbasses but were useful idiots as we could provide a great lesson for those smarter than us. The four of us were all to receive three licks. This was decided while we stood there in our jock straps. And sadly those were not the last of my licks.

To be continued.

[pack0808]

Hey don't get me wrong I am all for paddling if it is needed. I have had many licks in my life and deserved them. But what happened to us that day was sick and criminal.

Jeez he won the game and they fired him. All they care about down here is winning, who cares what happens to do so...so different
