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.

A woman that looked a lot like that went into a ladies room at my friend’s beer bar. Another woman walked out and yelled “She’s wearing men’s jockey shorts!”
As Howard Cosell would say, “It was pandemonium”.

lot of people post tacky pictures, like anyone really cares. But there are no laws against tacky and tasteless, you don’t go to jail you just get fired. She is one stupid person, so is he.

Well, everyone is smiling, so I imagine there's some submarine action going on, too.

In this case, it is apparently just one of their family vacation photos. Husbands can touch their wives, after all — nothing particularly immoral about it.

Still, I did say in my original post that I personally think they both should be fired at any rate. I noticed you left that part out.

Sorry, I certainly didn't mean to misquote you. I quoted only the part that related to my legal point.
