High School Volleyball Coach Throws Ball at Own Player in Disgust

Eric Maxwell takes high school girls volleyball very seriously. Upset with how his team was playing during a match last month, he threw a volleyball at one of his players.

And I’m not talking about tossing the ball in player’s general vicinity to get her attention, I’m talking full-on White Goodman yelling “Joanie loves Chachi!” The official gave Maxwell a yellow card, which is the color-coded equivalent of a Dwight Schrute demerit.

This isn’t the first time Maxwell’s coaching style has come into question. In an April 2008 Newark Star-Ledger story, John Christian Hageny quotes Maxwell as saying, “Anything to see our kids be successful. I am an extremely competitive person. I want to win. I want to put the team in a position to win. I want to do all I can to give them the opportunity for success.”

ShareHageny adds: “Maxwell’s hands-on coaching style, however, has often drawn the ire of officials and opposing teams, as well as their fans. ‘We just use that as motivation,’ Maxwell … said. ‘The more they say, the hungrier we are.’ ”

In light of Maxwell’s recent actions — and the subsequent backlash — I’m guessing he’s got more motivation than he can possibly use.
