Exactly! We had one idiot, who assulted my former highschool football coach at a gas station. He said that he did it because the offensive coordinator and head coach humiliated him in front of his friends at almost every practice. ::)

Unfortunately, many people from my hometown dont think to work towards something like that. Quit, salvage what's left of your ego, then prove how much of a man you are...even if you have to push a 65yr old into the side of his car and on the ground.

Thomas shot, killed inside school

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Ed Thomas, who has produced four NFL linemen as the football coach at tiny Aplington-Parkersburg High School, was shot and killed Wednesday inside the school's weight room.


Ed Thomas

Ross Dettman for ESPN.com

Ed Thomas, pictured in 2008 beside the football field at Aplington-Parkersburg High, was shot and killed Wednesday at the school.

The family of Thomas said in a statement Wednesday morning that he died shortly after arriving at a Waterloo hospital.

A gunman opened fire on Thomas in the school weight room at about 8 a.m. Authorities said he was captured shortly thereafter, and is being held at the Butler County jail.

No one else was injured in the attack.

Butler County spokeswoman Holly Fokkena said about 50 students were in the school when the shooting occurred.

Thomas, also the athletics director at Aplington-Parkersburg High, was running a program during the summer for students, not just members of the team. Parkersburg is about 80 miles northeast of Des Moines.

Aplington-Parkersburg is the alma mater of four current NFL players -- Casey Wiegmann of the Kansas City Chiefs, Jared DeVries of the Detroit Lions, Brad Meester of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Aaron Kampman of the Green Bay Packers. All played for Thomas.

Thomas had been coach for nearly three decades, amassing nearly 300 victories and several state championships.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

that coach who was "assaulted" (=beaten up)...i dont know anyting about it.,.. but ive seen alot of coaches think they are running a bootcamp and yell at kids and treat them like total shit...  kids are smart enough to know that at school sanctioned activities (football practice being one of them,) that if they do anything out of line there are possible repercussion's for their actions...suspension, expulsion..etc.    so theyll just wait to sucker punch the bitch ass coach for yelling at them till they see him off school grounds.

you are correct to a point...there's a fine line between abusive behavior and yelling at the kids to motivate them.  also the abuse they all suffer serves to bring them together as a unit and makes them more willing to fight for and with each other.

***********UPDATE*********

It appears this suspect had a pretty extensive criminal background.


Investigators say Mark Becker, 24, walked past about 20 students prior to 8 a.m. local time before firing at Thomas, who was supervising a summer weight-lifting session.

Police said Becker shot Thomas multiple times, including once at close-range to the head, then retreated from the red barn that serves as the weight room as the high school is being rebuilt. No other students were hurt.

Becker fled the scene, and was arrested shortly thereafter in the driveway of his parents' home and charged with first-degree murder. Bond was set at $1 million, and Becker is being held at Cerro Gordo County Jail in Mason City, about 40 miles northwest of Parkersburg. His next scheduled court appearance is July 2.


 The motive, in the meantime, remains unclear.

"Motive is another one of those areas that, it's just to early to speculate on," said Dave Winker, of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.

Butler County sheriff Jason Johnson said Becker did not have a gun permit, and investigators did not provide details on where the gun came from, only that "it was a gun he had access to," the Cedar Rapids Gazette reported.

Court records indicate Becker has been arrested for drunken driving, assault, possession of drug paraphernalia, and in January, he admitted to police to being a methamphetamine user.

 Mark Becker was an offensive lineman on Thomas' team through 2003; Becker's father, Dale, was a captain of one of Thomas' squads in the 1970s.

"The whole church cares for both families. I don't know that there are any sides, but just trying to care for them," associate pastor Phillip Jensen told the Des Moines Register.

The evening of Saturday, June 20, Mark Becker embarked on an evening of violence. It started when he allegedly took a baseball bat to the Cedar Falls home of Dwight Rogers, one of whose sons graduated in the same class as Becker.

After slamming his car into the house's garage door, Becker led police on a high-speed chase that crossed three counties, ending in Parkersburg, when he hit a deer while traveling at about 90 mph, according to police.

He was admitted early Sunday to Covenant Medical Center in Waterloo -- the very hospital Thomas was flown to and pronounced dead Wednesday.

Cedar Falls police said they believed Becker would undergo a psychiatric evaluation at the hospital, and that their department would be notified when he was released so he could be charged in connection with the events at Rogers' house.

However, Becker was released from the hospital Tuesday, but police said they were never notified. Police would not say whether Becker left the medical facility on his own or with someone he knew.

"We're still investigating the exact sequence of events," Butler County Attorney Greg Lievens said, according to the Cedar Rapids Gazette.

 According to Iowa newspaper reports, Becker was convicted of drunken driving in 2005. He also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor serious assault and fourth-degree criminal mischief in two separate incidents in November and December of 2008, and was fined, sentenced to 90 days in jail, and received a year of probation. However, all but four days of the jail sentence were suspended.

In January, Becker was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia after a sheriff's deputy found him with a glass meth pipe and a digital scale during a traffic stop, according to court records.

Becker, who admitted to using meth, pleaded guilty and was fined, according to court records.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
