This is a perfect situation of “when High school coaching lessons go to far.” This football coach took his team to a cemetery and made them lay down because they lost a game. Dude you coach Junior Varsity football go ahead and tell me you never lost. Hit the jump to read the rest of the story.

According to the Syracuse Post-Standard, the Marcellus (N.Y.) High junior varsity football team stopped at a cemetery after a loss to Skaneateles on Saturday. While no one is questioning the fact that the team bus did stop at a cemetery, one complaint reportedly made to Marcellus administrators claimed that the team members were forced to lie on graves in an attempted teaching method by junior varsity coach Jim Marsh, who is pictured in the center of the photo above, about how they should never give up. â€The bus did stop at the cemetery,†Marcellus Superintendent Craig Tice told the Post-Standard. “We’re talking to the kids, the coaches and the parents. We’re still trying to collect information, definitely.†The sources said Marsh, also an English teacher at the high school, ordered the team bus to pull over near the cemetery. He then asked the roughly two dozen players to get out and lay on the graves. The players rested there for several minutes while Marsh preached about the importance of playing hard, and how those buried underneath them would cherish the opportunity to trade places with the players and fight to win. Marsh then urged the Mustangs to arise from the dead and bring their season back to life.
