Ex-Coach Allegedly Hits Students in Groin

Posted: Jan. 9 6:34 p.m.

MONUMENT, Colo. — A former high school basketball coach faces 39 charges for allegedly hitting male students in the groin, showing them pornography and pouring water on his players then driving them to games in the winter with the windows rolled down.

Gregory Lynn Burr, 28, face charges ranging from sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust to child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury, according to court documents reviewed by The Gazette of Colorado Springs. One of the students claims to have had scrotal surgery because of Burr's alleged assault.

A student in documents said Burr would ask them, "What is the capital of Thailand?" When they would answer "Bangkok," he would hit them in the groin.

The incidents allegedly took place from September 2005 to March 2006 at The Monument Academy.

Burr's phone number in Colorado Springs was not listed. Burr attorney Phil Dubois told The Gazette Monday that the charges are unwarranted, adding, "Mr. Burr is not a sex offender or anything close to it."

Burr, who was arrested, posted $10,000 bail on December 14, court records show.

Burr is no longer is employed at the charter school, which is part of the Lewis-Palmer School District 38, said Ted Belteau, the district's executive director of personnel and student services.

Burr's wife, Sharalee, was athletic director, coach of the girl's basketball team last season and a teacher at the school told the newspaper that she was fired.

In arrest records, some of the victims portrayed the incidents as Burr's misguided attempts at humor but said they kept quite for fear of getting kicked off the team. One student estimated some of the players were hit in the groin 30-40 times.

Another said the blows occurred at every practice, with the coach hitting them with his hand, basketballs and tennis balls.

they should punish him, but it doesn't sound like he's any sort of sex offender.

My question is this - did he think that having bruised testicles would improve his players' performance on the basketball court?

repeatedly hitting players in the groin, at least once a practice, points to a very weird and serious mental problem

Sounds to me like this guy's got some sadistic sexual tendencies. Perhaps he's a wannabe dom? With a pedophilic side? eww.

That kind of shit just ain't fair. I mean, assuming she didn't do anything to encourage the situation. Who knows, she might've been in the dark too.

^I was wondering what SHE did to get fired actually

It seems to me that, after a while, the kids would just start giving another answer. Like "Mississippi is the capital of Thailand."

1/11/2007 3:19:32 PM

I thought the capital was "freemoney"

1/11/2007 3:46:14 PM

Sounds like Coach Burr was a frat mascot back in the day and is getting his revenge on highschoolers.
