I
only love this story because I have quite a few friends who coach high school
girls' sports. I always wondered why they just didn't coach the guys, until
today. It turns out this high school softball coach from Seattle's Roosevelt
High School has been recently busted for sending his female students out on
"scavenger hunts" to pick up cute women for him. Isn't that
hysterical? I get it now! Anyway, Troy Hennum has been forced to resign from
his role as coach only six days after starting the job when his bosses
discovered his sleazy scheme.
The
25-year-old would order his teenage players to scout "cute girls" and
return to him with a photograph and their phone numbers. This guy is a riot!
25-year-old, Kat Aagard said she was approached by a group of giggling
schoolgirls when she was at work in her sporting goods store. Thinking that the
girls were just being silly and just for fun, she handed the girls her number.
Soon after, she began receiving flirty messages from Hennum, whom she initially
said, "seemed like a nice enough guy." Yeah, that’s because nice guys
send little girls into stores to pick up chicks for him. This guy is a loser!
But a pretty funny loser!
Aagard
became a little worried when she later Googled Hennum's name only to find out
that he'd stopped working at a Lake Washington school in 2012 over claims he'd
send inappropriate messages to a student. Hennum was apparently not
disciplined, but his contract was also not renewed. Aagard claims that it made
her feel uncomfortable and she was completely shocked to see that he had a
history of inappropriate behavior. Aagard reported the unusual pick-up method
to school bosses, who launched an investigation. Hennum was placed on unpaid
leave and resigned last Friday.
Here's
what I don't understand; was he inappropriate with any of these students? It
didn't sound like it. It sounds like he was just using the girls on his team to
meet girls his age. When they did find him a girl, that girl blew the whistle
on him because of a past experience he had on another school. Why would she do
that if he wasn't doing anything wrong? He didn't molest any of the girls at
the previous school, so he's not a sex offender. He just sent them messages.
Maybe he learned his lesson that time, but this girl never even gave him a
chance. She decided to blow the whistle on something he did in his past. I say
that Aagard was wrong on this one and Hennum should not have been forced to
quit when he did nothing wrong.
