Brief

Author @mhp_guy recounts interviewing at age 25 for a high-school wrestling assistant coach role, when the head coach warned him one wrestler’s father was “a total psycho” who’d accused the coach of an affair with another wrestler’s mom. He took the job for three years, saw flirting but no affair, then later learned via Facebook the coach and the mom divorced and married each other.

Why it matters

At age 25 the author interviewed for and was hired as a high-school wrestling assistant coach; during the first interview the head coach warned him that “one of the wrestler’s dad is a total psycho” who had accused the head coach of an affair with another wrestler’s mom.

Key details

  • The author kept the assistant coach job for three years and observed flirtatious behavior between the head coach and that mom but never witnessed an affair.
  • After moving to Texas and losing touch, about a year later the author saw on Facebook that the head coach and that mom had both divorced their spouses and married each other.
Source evidence

When I was 25 I interviewed to be a high school wrestling assistant coach.

On my very first interview with the head coach, at one point he told me

“Oh, and by the way, one of the wrestler’s dad is a total psycho. So watch out for him. Recently he accused me of having an affair with another wrestlers mom. Total crazy.”

Weird, I thought. Why would he tell me that in a first interview?

I got the job and kept it for 3 years.

The head coach and that mom (both married) in question were pretty flirtatious, but I never saw anything.

I then moved to Texas and lost touch with them.

About a year later I saw on FB that they both divorced and got married to each other.

Not sure why I thought of that story just now, but that’s the post. Have a good night.
