The Idaho high school basketball coach fired after the school district deemed a photo of her fiancé grabbing her chest as “immoral” says she is “discouraged” that she was fired while her fiancé, the school’s varsity football coach, kept his job.
“Obviously, I don’t want to see my fiancé to get into trouble but I was a little bit discouraged,” Laraine Cook, 31, of Pocatella, Idaho, told GoodMorningAmerica.com today. “They told me it was because it was on my Facebook account that I was being terminated.”
Cook, the mother of two elementary school-aged children, was fired from her job as a substitute teacher and head coach of the Pocatello High varsity girls’ basketball team Oct. 21 after the photo, showing fiancé Tom Harrison touching her chest, was anonymously delivered to the office of the school district’s superintendent, Mary Vagner.

huh
Too bad he wasn’t gay.
Social psychosis in in Utah now?
People just need to realize that posting on social media can jeopardize jobs and relationships. Think before you post!
Most surprising detail is that the girls’ basketball team coach’s partner is of the opposite sex. And for that we can be relieved.
Hey, her hand is on his chest! I thought the sexes were equal. /S
This isn’t exactly job-ending lewd, IMHO. It’s not like they posted it in the school Yearbook. Hey, it’s not even remotely in the same class as the tapes coming about about Chris Farley reincarnation Rob Ford, ex-mayor of Toronto.
Someone must have time on their hands.
Here's the news story, with pic.
The boyfriend is the Pocatello football coach, who was only reprimanded. Yes, there is probably more to the story.
so.....female coach gets canned for having her boob grabbed, but male coach who grabbed it gets to stay?
Oh, yeah...this has 72 months of gut-crushing litigation written ALL OVER it.
Facebook Terminations are the Next Great Frontier of the tort bar. I know HR people who have been advised by their attorneys “Do NOT look at an employee’s Facebook page for ANY REASON!”
Nice lake...east Idaho?
Or, just don’t do facebook at all then nobody at work can judge you.
To show how moronic things are getting like this, one student was suspended because her mother posted a picture of her CWP on Facebook.
But she’s clutching his moob.
Agree. Whether the school was justified in her termination depends on what was in her contract. Why people display such exhibitionism in public ( yes Facebook is public) is really beyond my understanding. Perhaps it’s symptomatic of the narcissism of many people these days.
I wonder what her young daughters think of this photo of mom?
Worth Repeating with Border...
