I think you're a "hot-head" who acts without thinking!
Nope. Haven't seen proof of that.
I do believe the staff needs to go. When a mere assistant coach makes statements such as have been charged, he does so either knowing he'll be backed by his superiors or he knows his actions won't be punished. The rot started at the top and worked its way into the on field team.
You go on and give a wink and a nod to on field assault. I'm sure it plays well with your barbecue buds.
