  • Not exactly the kind of behavior you would want from a coach, but what he does in private is his business. I don't know...if the statement below is accurate, would you send your child to swim for this coach? If not, then I can see how it would be the university's business. He offered to pay for a cab for one Internet user, who claimed to be a 17-year-old boy, to visit his hotel room and offered marijuana and methamphetamine as a reward. "I can (have sex) all night when I also enjoy Ms. Tina (slang for meth) which I have here," Trembley wrote. "I will pay for ur cab both ways and we can party and play most or all night ... ur call!"
