This day and age its unheard of and not warranted at all, this behavior that is. Many of you know I played on full scholarship for basketball at the NAIA Division 1 level.
My point, and being 40 now, I can tell stories of similar or worse than this. It was a big thing back in the 80's and early 90's from our HS coach. Fear, and intimidation and verbal abuse.
Funny one for you, I was in 9th grade starting JV. We were in a scrimmage playing the varsity one practice and I didnt take a charge. Whistle blows, what the fuck is the matter with you son, are you a fucking pussy? We dont have pussies on this team, I bet you have no NUTS. Son, pull down your pants and show me your balls. Everyone backed away, and let me tell you I drop my pants and grabbed my cock and said here you go coach.
Now mind you, I am hung like a fucking horse, even the brothers envied me, so needless to say he never did that again. Provides many laughs around these parts to this day....
