Manhood: check; outrage: check; pink slip: yup

There's a line in Mike Lupica's 'Bump and Run' where the football coach pulls out his, ahem, equipment, and screams at the team, "Do you know what this is?!" and the team owner standing nearby goes "It looks like a penis, only smaller."

A high school basketball coach in main took Bill Parcells', I'm sorry, I mean the fictional coach's motivational method a little too much to heart...
Leavitt High School basketball coach Mike Remillard was fired after telling his players to put their hands down their pants to "check their manhood"
The principal wanted to learn more about the coach's pump 'em up tactics...
I have been told that during halftime, Mr. Remillard asked the players if they knew what tonights game was all about. He stated that tonights game was about who had the biggest "male genetalia" in town. He then required his players to all stand up and put their hands down their pants and check their manhood.
The coach put winning just a little ahead of fair play and good sportsmanship...
I asked further if he thought that was an appropriate motivational tactic. He replied that "we won".
Shades of Vince Lombardi indeed. No wait, I meant Bobby Knight.
