Both of you need to learn the difference between "there" & "their".After reading comments from people I can only believe that schools simply don't teach the basics. Another common mistake is using "your" instead of "you're". Drives me nuts!

I have to say Porter is a excellant coach, man, and role model for young boys. I have watched his tough love method turn around alot of troubled youths. If parents would step up and take control of there kids less teachers, coaches, and other offiacls jobs would be alot easier. I have watched Tony coach several different teams over the last ten years and he would NEVER put a child in harm! Tony is a well loved coached and will be missed by his current and future players!

I am a friend of Ricky Hurst, My son played football for both Coach Hurst and Porter. Ricky would never harm a child, the child was kidding around threw something at him and he blocked what was thrown. Ricky was never fired he was given an untimatum to be fired or to quit. The school had told him that everything was okay that he wouldn't have to worry about losing his job, but the childs parents made a case out of nothing. Mrs. Robinson is always not getting her stories straight. Coach Porter did nothing wrong to the children, by making them do calisthenics. Most parents do not dicpline there children enough these days. The schools have become to linent these days because they are scared that the parents will go after them. Most children who have had Ricky and Porter respect them because of there style of coaching, they will disipline a child. The coaches that are there now don't get respect from the children because they don't get disiplined enough. Thank you for your time, Shannon
