Our coaches could kick us or abuse us but they would not have been allowed to use profanity.
I remember if we screwed up in practice a coach would say “assume the position” then he would put a ripple sole on your butt. All the coaches back then wore Riddell ripple sole shoes. Not sure why but they had a lock on coaching shoes.
One PE Teacher I had had his ‘punishment shoe’ mounted to a board for extra spanking speed/power, He called it his ‘Vegetable Machine’! Because, in his best Gunny Hartman voice.....”WHEN YOU MEN SRCREW UP YOU ARE VEGTABLES! BRAIN DEAD!! GET OVER HERE!!! SHORTS DOWN, JOCK ALSO!! BEND OVER.....POW!!!! It was LONG time ago. (I’m sure others have similar memories!) Damn did it sting!!
