And why don't we just throw in a hazing incident to high-school basketball, while we are at it?

Just popped across Deadspin on this rainy day in California:

Ooltewah High School in Tennessee will cancel it's boys basketball team today, as a result of at least FOUR PLAYERS being sodomized and otherwise sexually assaulted with a pool cue at a holiday tournament just before Christmas.  All the players were younger players, and three older players have been placed into custody as a result.  The three have been suspended from the school.

One student who was sodomized has left the school completely.

Basically, it has appeared that this has become a tradition at the school, according to a report from WRCB television, called "beating in".

Basically, in short:  Beating the ever living humanity out of the players to make them inhuman monsters.

If this were one incident, I'd consider it a start.

I have to question the future of this high school if the reports are true that this has been a tradition for a significant period of time.  One of the four students was actually put in the hospital for snitching -- and that might imply a SECOND assault.  (This is the student who will not return to Ooltewah.)

At this point, "Tank" (the coach's name is Andre "Tank" Montgomery), you need to go to prison.  So does probably a significant portion of the administration of your school.
