from what i understand, the coach was told beforehand the boy/young men could not go shirtless, however, the coach never told them to go shirtless, the boys just did it themselves, of course, the coach could have told them to put their shirts back on and that it's a rule, etcetera, i guess the bigger question is WHY IT WAS A RULE? and if it just track athletes or any male athletes in all the other sports too!
speaking of peds and what not, i do remember many many years ago when i was in high school on the track team, and all the spring sports track, baseball, tennis would have practices after school and of course we would get cleaned up, the baseball coach would take showers with his players! maybe it's just me, but i thought then and now that is messed up!
maybe he thought "hey, we're all guys here" but i'm sorry i wouldn't want any coach to see my junk or see his junk, he was also a math teacher. i just believe there is a authority issue, a age/respect issue, and a crossing of the line in this regard. it's one thing to be let's say a professional baseball coach with full grown baseball players, you know their all in the how should i say same boat with age, maturity and what not. i'm sure this could never ever happen now or he would have been fired or something would have happened.
