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 Dec. 14, court records show.

4. How much ya wanna bet....

8. Not So Sure

I am not so sure about that. Bobby Knight as far as I know never did anything even close to this type of stuff. I realize a person does not have to exactly emulate a person's behavior to be an admirer of a person. However, I think this guy went too far to be a Knight fan or idolizer.

10. And now he's history....

"Burr came to the school three years ago with his wife, Sharalee, who was the school’s athletic director, coach of the girls basketball team last season and a teacher. They are no longer employed at the school or elsewhere in Lewis-Palmer School District 38. Sharalee Burr said Monday she was fired, but referred all other comments to their attorney."
