    He had punishment options other than Assault: for example he could have kicked her out to the showers, kicked her out of the team, possibly even all the way to getting her kicked out of the school.

    You know, normal tools for coaches and teachers in highschools to deal with serious pupil misbehaviour.

    This ain’t the 1920s and physical punishment isn’t acceptable in schools anymore.

      1920’s? Your timeline is really skewed. Stuff like this was normal in the 2000’s. Hell, it’s still legal in some areas to beat kids with a paddle at school.

          Not OP but I know of a Catholic middle school that used corporal punishment in the PNW. It was still going on in the mid 2000s.
