Coaches’ Paddlings of High School Basketball Player Upheld

A federal appeals court today upheld frequent paddlings of a high school basketball player in Memphis by his coaches over missed practices, tardiness, poor grades, and even, allegedly, for missed shots during basketball games. Noting that Tennessee law permits corporal punishment by teachers “for good cause in order to maintain discipline and order within the public schools,” a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit, in Cincinnati, ruled unanimously that “a reasonable juror could conclude that the paddlings administered by [the two coaches] were for disciplinary purposes, and were not ‘excessive’ in severity, frequency, motivation, or means.” The case brought by Martin Nolan, a student at Hamilton High School in Memphis from 2001 to 2004, against the two basketball coaches, school administrators, and the Memphis district alleged that the paddlings violated his 14th Amendment right to substantive due process of law.
