This is a clip of head volleyball coach Eric Maxwell from Southern High School in New Jersey and his motivational techniques. The person who put this video up included a comment defending this guy and saying the coach apologized immediately and satisfactorily. For you Jersey Shore fans this guy would probably defend the actions of the guy who punched Snooki in the face (who is also a New Jersey high school gym teacher and coach interestingly enough). I'll let you developed your own opinion.
Now take it from someone who has actually had a coach throw a ball at their head, stuff like this isn't funny or cool (well maybe a little funny in a sick sort of way) in a girls high school game. To do it to a teenage girl during a game in front of everyone's parents makes it that much worse. I don't care that this guy apologized, it doesn't matter when you fire a piss-rocket down the pipe at a girl's head from 6 feet away, you lose any and all credibility. I guess this is par-for-the-course in a place like New Jersey. I wouldn't be surprised if Coach Maxwell threw up a fist-pump and then hit the tanning salon with no remorse after this game.
How awkward is that silence afterward? I think that's what really brings the video together.
