Junior High. Probably 8th grade. Not a coach, but a gym teacher.

One time, he PADDLED every boy in the class (all boys gym class at that point).

No reason, except that we needed "toughening up".

His paddle was home made, and he had drilled holes in it. This allowed for less air resistance and a harder paddle. That shit hurt. Bad. He got a real laugh over it.

Sadistic prick.

Can you imagine that stuff flying today?
