The good ol' days
What is this world coming to? If it's not a girl suing the police because she hid her keys from the cops and then suffered brain injuries when she crashed her car in a drunken stupor, it's a high school basketball coach getting hauled into court because he liked to hit his players in the groin:
A former high school basketball coach on trial for allegedly hitting players in the groin with a clipboard and other objects took the stand in his own defense, calling himself a fun-loving coach and saying that some players were lying.
Gregory Lynn Burr, 29, is charged with sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, and other counts. He's accused of hitting nine 14- to 16-year-old boys during the 2005-2006 season at the Monument Academy charter school.
Burr smiled and laughed Monday as he spoke of some of the incidents, recalling four times when he said he hit players in the groin accidentally.
After his testimony, he reportedly looked at his former players and called one a "nancy" and told the other he should "run it off."
