3. How much is too much?

At the risk of stepping into the fusillade, is this approaching the level of a vendetta?

What level of punishment is sufficient for the "crime" of imposing too lenient of a sentence? (Which, while admittedly offensive and objectionable, was still within sentencing guidelines... it's not like he went completely rogue). He has already lost his job (and pension, according to the TV news report). I'm okay with all that. It is a grievous crime, and grievously hath he answered it. But when does it end?

I admit I'm guessing here, but I'm thinking the girls' JV tennis coach is not a highly-compensated position. He was well-qualified and highly rated by the USTA. Why doesn't he deserve a second chance? How long will it take the school to find a new coach? What does the JV girls tennis team do in the interim?

If concerns were raised by members of the team or their parents that they were uncomfortable with him as coach, I could see giving him the axe. But the "JV tennis coach recall" petition was started by a 2015 graduate of the high school.
