Not very professional even if he was joking around.

I had a tiny mishap tonight myself, one of the younger girls was sitting on the ground waiting for her ride, and I pretended to step on her and she broke out in tears. Unknown to me she was adopted after being abused for years, made me feel like complete **** :[

Heheh. Whoa that sucks to come across that trauma. Often enough I enjoy bumping them into the pit or throwing them. Especially the boys. There's a few of them I can throw with one arm. Sometimes it can be interesting to see how far I can throw them. Or to make them twist and flip at the same time.
Biting though. Hopefully his name wasn't Mike Tyson. I think if someone was to bite me, the thought of inflicting just enough pain for them to let go would be warranted.
That way past the rough-housing line. Ya bite, when it's the last thing you can do. I can almost understand girls or kids doing it, but adults? Come on...what a nutso freak.

Biting is wrong, the coach had no right to put his mouth anywhere near your brother. A certain amount of roughhousing is acceptable as long as everyone understands that it is play fun (heck i've bodyslammed a kid to the mats in a wrestleing match because we were joking around and the kid said he could take me) but you have to draw the line somewhere. Oral contact is not acceptable and could be considered either asault or harassment.
