Craig,
Speaking as an attorney, I sincerely hope that for the sake of the high school coach's career, to say nothing of the school district's account that pays for law suit judgments, that the official mascot for boys and girls teams at this high school is the beaver. If not, this has sexual harassment written all over it. (It might possibly pass muster if the coach is a women, and all her swimmers back a statement from her that the use of the beaver refers to that animal's manic work habits, and not - ahem - anything else.)
