Thanks for punching us in the balls, coach

So did you hear about this Gregory Lynn Burr guy yet? Well, if not, let me fill you in.

He’s a 28-year-old former boys basketball coach in Colorado who allegedly – allegedly - punched his players in the nuts, showed them gay porn and pictures of penile-ily defunct men off his home computer. (Quit looking at your screen like that, it’s perfectly normal. Isn’t it?)

Here’s my favorite part of the story from the Colorado Springs Gazette.

One student sought medical attention for a groin injury he attributed to the coach’s strikes and later had scrotal surgery. Other students told police the strikes to the testicles were “the kind of hits that made you lay down” or “made you stop for a minute to catch your breath.”

And another gem:

A student said Burr would ask them, “What is the capital of Thailand?” When they would answer “Bangkok,” he would hit them in the groin.

Looks like we have a ball-punching comedian on our hands here.

If anything, Coach Punchintheballs gives me an excuse to post up another nut shot video. (Thanks Greg!)

Here’s a clip of a guy in the Sydney Olympics getting racked by a pole vault. Which I imagine is probably just as – if not more – painful than repeated punches in the groin from your basketball coach.
