We are not talking about having boys run together. We are talking about intimidation. The school board would have no credibility if they do not fire him form coaching. How would they justify suspending a student for the same

Just for the record since you decided to take a cheap shot at Garden City, the incident you referred to led to 6 kids being thrown off the lacrosse team and each kid being suspended from school for a week. One player lost his lacrosse scholarship.
that your definition of "nothing"???
grow up Player lost his scholarship... that was all on the college. how many juniors and seniors involved?

How would they justify suspending a student for the same I have a kid on the team and have no idea what the "charges" are and what is being investigated so I do not think you can make a statement like that when there is no way you can even know what he is being charged with. your post is the first I have heard about intimidation, lets take a step back and find out what he is being accused of before we convict or defend him and or the entire community

grow up I agree that he took an unnecessary cheap shot and this has nothing to do with the GC situation but I believe the original poster was saying nothing was done to the coach, we all understand that kids involved were punished.

He is charged with having boys take off uniform after loss and make them walk out in underwear. Comes from numerous sources. That is not disputed. What the question is what punishment is going to be handed out. Funny how they waited until after Massapequa game

The pussification of our boys is real. Everyone gets a trophy, equal playing time crap that is being jammed down our throats by these over zealous parents who never played a sport in their lives. Now they feel everything needs to be equal. Life is not fair or equal. Some are meant to excel in the classroom others on the field of play and in the rare instance in both. Why is it that it's ok to categorize students in the classroom with grades but not alright on the field of play. I played a D1 sport in college and the right of passage as a freshman was part of the process. This went on in high school also. It created a common bond with upperclassmen who went through the same things. I will never trade the times I had on and or off the field with my teammates. Now it's called bullying. Fire this coach, sue that guy if your child doesn't get equal playing time. How about teach them to work hard and work at the thing they love. Have passion and fall in love with the process (training to be great) not whining about equal playing time and trophies.
Just the look at our society. Safe space because words hurt our feelings. People scream and yell for individualism but it's more like they want an androgynous society where women are more like men and men are like women. No dodgeball in school, everything is bullying. It seems as if all the people who were good and bad at dodgeball turned out to be good people and actual upstanding individuals in our society. Ask anyone from our greatest generation and they will tell you our youth have become soft, blood sucking leeches, with no respect for anyone or anything. We can't blame the kids because as parents we are enabling and creating these crybabies or crybullies. For those who don't know this term it's someone who always cries they are being bullied because of what they believe in but use bullying tactics if you don't agree with them. Am

I told two 13 year old kids that were leaving lacrosse practice for a soccer practice, this was an on-going problem with these two, that they needed to get their "asses to lacrosse practice if they wanted to start". One of the kids parents called the head of the league about child "abuse" and the dad threatened to call the Nassau County child protection services. The two sets of parents wondered when we had a travel team in the town, why no one would take their kids. This "pussification" as you say, is really driven by the parents. I think most boys are embarrassed by this type of parental behavior. God forbid they play in college when parents now around.

Am about 90 percent accurate. still cant condone making kids walk off bus in underwear. That is an adult , teacher and coach, abusing his authority. If it wouldn't be OK in a work place, its not OK in a school. Has to be held to same standards as other teachers. I am sure if a math teacher or volleyball coach did this, it would be a big problem and on the news.

I can not believe that Syosset parents are defending this action. same parents were crucifying him earlier for playing time. This is not acceptable behavior- period- beside the fact that it is bad coaching. does he ever think kids might play a little tight in some games? Does he ever think kid might quit on him- to much bs Must be the starters parents- afraid of change- new coach might see something different in back-up players Or coaching staff trying to do damage control

I think the coach just wanted to see them in their underwear for his "bank..." Sick... Why in just their underwear? Bad decision coach. No problem with running or punishment, but that was dumb and he opened himself up to scrutiny.

I agree the coach did something dumb. But is there no reprimand between defending the "pussification" of kids and being thrown of the team as coach?
Cut of coaches salary? reduced to asst coach for 3 years? public apology? I just think, esp around coaches, that parents see one bad event and want a coaches head. They don't see the hours and hours and dedication that goes into coaching, all the positive. They see the one bad event. [lacrosse], I'm a good parent, love my kids, make them study, make them be in by curfew, etc......so when I lose my temper and call my kids "idiots".....should my kids be taken away?

If he made boys run laps do push ups, run wind sprints all night, no issue, he yells and screams, no issue. You have entrusted your boys to a man that is supposed to be leading these boys into manhood and helping them mature. Having a kid get off a bus in shame is not proving anything except that the coach needs to be removed. nothing to do with any school, but this shaming is for the game of thrones, not hs lax.

Never ever was I forced to drink or do anything that they never did. As for the Stony Brook U here are the facts. " We wish to correct several inaccurate assertions that have been reported by others. Nicholas was a Brother of Alpha Phi Delta. He was not a pledge nor was he engaged in any type of pledging activity at the time of this unfortunate incident" facts buddy facts. Lol

I have a son on the team. I did not know anything about this till last night so I asked him what happened last week. He told me JC did not take uniforms away as punishment. These specific uniforms are distributed before the game and collected after the game whenever they are used. The kids know this ahead of time. Some kids did not have something to change into after they got back to school. I asked my son what did he wear home and he said sweats that he kept in his locker. He also told me some of the boys thought it would be funny to go home in their UW and others were just lazy and did not want to change. The point is that it was not done to punish or humiliate. The uniforms were collected inside the school after they got off bus. They did not ride home in their UW. They were not paraded around or shamed, however there are some parents, like every district on LI, who have an axe to grind who made a complaint. Error in judgment by the coach. Yes probably, but to be fired over it seems extreme. You have to remember that these kids are on the verge of becoming young men. We ask these coaches to help guide them into young adulthood. I do not think the coach should have to remind them like they are in 2nd grade to bring a post game change of clothes. BTW my son is not a starter so with or without JC in Syosset I have nothing to gain or lose by writing this. I do know it is the boys who have worked hard this year who will suffer if he is removed over a mistake being blown entirely out of proportion.

So, if the uniforms are distributed before the game and collected after the game, all players should have worn street clothes to school, correct. Do you see where you went wrong in trying defend a coach who was in the wrong. This isn't the first time, if fact, there have been several complaints over the years about this coach both berating and humiliating players in front of others. The coach should do as most of us were raised, I emphasize 'most', if you would be offended if your child would be treated this manner, don't treat others in the same way. Think before you act! Enough about this issue, let it play out in SYO. Tomorrow: Pequa vs Farmingdale St. Anthony's vs Darien 2 games should be good, a lot riding on both.

How can an impartial out of town reader of this compare the 20 emails claiming that the charges are true and coach should be fired to the email from the father that seems to be the only one that got the story from someone that was there and know which is true?
I hope your son's explanation is true, cause this posse if complaining, idiotic parents that seem to have no facts needs to understand they should do a little homework before stating ANYONE should be fired........esp on an blog where their identities are hidden.

A HS lax coach, or any school coach for that matter, should not be the one "guiding your son into young adulthood". That's your job!!! Damn, some parents today just don't want to raise their kids. It always someone else's job to do it. You're their parent, not their best friend.

They were not paraded around or shamed, however there are some parents, like every district on LI, who have an axe to grind who made a complaint. Error in judgment by the coach. Yes probably, but to be fired over it seems extreme. You have to remember that these kids are on the verge of becoming young men. We ask these coaches to help guide them into young adulthood. I do not think the coach should have to remind them like they are in 2nd grade to bring a post game change of clothes. BTW my son is not a starter so with or without JC in Syosset I have nothing to gain or lose by writing this. I do know it is the boys who have worked hard this year who will suffer if he is removed over a mistake being blown entirely out of proportion. Most boys did not have a change of clothes with them because the game was during the break... they came to school in their uniforms with no change of clothese. If JC wanted the uniforms back, he should've told the boys that ahead of time so they prepared proper clothing OR asked them to bring the uniforms to the next practice. He KNEW there were boys that had no change of clothes. Let's present all the facts if you want to 'set the record straight.'

I have a son on the team. I did not know anything about this till last night so I asked him what happened last week. He told me JC did not take uniforms away as punishment. These specific uniforms are distributed before the game and collected after the game whenever they are used. The kids know this ahead of time. Some kids did not have something to change into after they got back to school. I asked my son what did he wear home and he said sweats that he kept in his locker. He also told me some of the boys thought it would be funny to go home in their UW and others were just lazy and did not want to change. The point is that it was not done to punish or humiliate. The uniforms were collected inside the school after they got off bus. They did not ride home in their UW.

I do know it is the boys who have worked hard this year who will suffer if he is removed over a mistake being blown entirely out of proportion. The point is that at least 1 boy was forced to leave school in his underwear who was embarrased by it... that's one too many. NOT all joked, not all thought it was funny and it was irresponsible for the coach to put any young man in that situation.

How is the coach in the wrong. The uniforms are distributed as usual before and after games. So it's now the coaches fault that the High School aged boys forgot their cloths to change into. Come on. Stop being so sensitive.

Stop being so sensitive. Sensitive???? So kids should go home in their underwear????? How about this "adult", when realizing that some kids didn't have a change of clothes, told them "OK, take the unis home but bring them back at the next practice or I'm running you all day. You forget the uni, you're running". That's how it should have been handled, not tough, you're going home in your skivvies. Sensitive? Unreal.

We are not talking about having boys run together. We are talking about intimidation. The school board would have no credibility if they do not fire him form coaching. How would they justify suspending a student for the same What's wrong with knocking kids down a peg through embarrassment if they deserve it and it goes towards teaching them a valuable lesson. Kids are so darn soft and parents are the enablers. Take a step back and let your kids feel the repercussions of their actions. Its called maturity.

Stop being so sensitive. A. uniforms were not distributed 'right before' game... B. it was break, so boys wore uniform to the bus and didn't have school after game, so were going to go home in uniform C. nothing was said that dirty smelly uniforms were to be turned in IMMEDIATELY upon returning to school therefore boys did not prepare a backup clothing. Stop being so stupid!

As someone in the know said kids decided on their own to not change get into their cloths and wear just underwear. How did the kids get to game. Must have just worn underwear. Please stop posting anonymously so people know who has the axe to grind. No one can Coach in this day and age without getting crushed for everything they do. Guess it's the coaches fault kids didn't have cloths to change into.

They were not paraded around or shamed, however there are some parents, like every district on LI, who have an axe to grind who made a complaint. Error in judgment by the coach.

I do know it is the boys who have worked hard this year who will suffer if he is removed over a mistake being blown entirely out of proportion. So, if the uniforms are distributed before the game and collected after the game, all players should have worn street clothes to school, correct. Do you see where you went wrong in trying defend a coach who was in the wrong. This isn't the first time, if fact, there have been several complaints over the years about this coach both berating and humiliating players in front of others. The coach should do as most of us were raised, I emphasize 'most', if you would be offended if your child would be treated this manner, don't treat others in the same way. Think before you act! the kids had the uniforms and wore them to the school that day (it was a vacation day) and some, repeat SOME kids either did not have extra clothes and did not to borrow from a team mate - this was not done to humiliate or punish them.....now you can move on to other topics

THe uniforms were given out ahead of time, it was a school vacation, the boys left their homes that morning, heading to school for the game, WEARING the uniforms. They did not know they were going to have to turn them in right after bus returned to school. Those that coincidentally had clothes changed into them. Others tried to make light of the embarrasment and just ran to their ride home's vehicles.

I agree with comment above, and I think my parents did exactly that, but hard not to acknowledge that a good coach can have an enormous affect on a young man, or woman's life direction.

Half these kids have done their college applications, and you want the COACH to remind them because of a break they might not have a change of clothes?
are you serious? cant the mom's and dad's figure that out?
jesus, you people are ridiculous. Take some personal responsibility for your kids.
