A very young coach I know got his start on the Gulf Coast when he learned of a position in Dade County. He later said that he was so young and green that he didn't know it wrapped around Miami when he saw a job offer there. Later he said that he really thought it was the set of "Miami Vice" as most of the students were dark complected, skinny kids with slicked-back greasy hair and a look on their face that said, "if you cross me, I will kill you." He was a baseball coach and slight of build....
He said later, also that he should have smelled a rat at the salary offer. And, he should have really smelled one when the teacher's hand book said, "when on hall duty, be sure you stay in 'three's'." He had not been there long before he got to know the Football coach who was a large, well built man that most respected.
The young coach had not been there but a short time when he was on hall duty and found himself in the company of the Computer (nerd) teacher and the old lady librarian so he really imagined himself as alone. The break between periods was almost over when he observed the larger coach leave a classroom with an 8th grader by the scruff of the neck and saying, "... your mother hasn't taught you any manners... I guess I will have to." He had barely finished the sentense when the student's 17 year-old, 150#, senior brother walked up and said, "get your *&%$# hands off my brother!". The football coach turned and said, "your mother has not taught him any manners... he has cussed me all period and finally threw a book at me." The senior replied, "you probably had it comming ... now get your *&%$# hand off him!!!". The coach replied, "it looks like I'm gona have to tend to you too.", where in the older brother said, "why don't your try?"
Now, the smaller coach that was relaying this tail said that he was standing probably only 25 feet away and could have closed the distance in seconds. But, 1) he would have been too late and 2) He wanted no part of what next happened. It seems the senior brother turned out to be a 7th degree Black Belt. The larger coach dropped his grip on the younger brother and turned to reach the older one. The first chop crushed his wind-pipe; the first kick fractured his skull and the second broke both knees. The large coach hit the floor in a coma. Next, the senior brother walked into the office of the principal, took the phone away from the secretary, called the police, and charged him with assault on his brother.
The teller of the tail had one response: "This is called contract jumping!!" - Bye!!! Later, he was told that the school was told that would probably loose if they counter charged and it was dropped. The teller returned to his home area and started over.
