We're having a light debate on my Facebook page this morning.
Jimby jumped in as well so it was colorful.
I wrote:
I'm not an "old experienced" coach by any means, but I do know the difference between:
Honest support & encouragement
vs.
Sexually suggestive & flirtatious compliments
It might also be referred to as respect for the profession of coaching - or acting professionally as a coach.
I still have a GREAT time with my athletes and swimmers.

But on the flip side, a coach has a reputation to protect as well.
All kinds of things can spur on false accusations. Jealousy and envy are probably the worst.
And then I believe suggestive comments were referred to as - "human nature".
Sorry, but I don't buy that as ok behavior from a coach - or a swimmer even if its masters.
