He is free to do as he wants, just like everyone else. If he wants to pray, he can pray.
What he is not free to do is require (or pressure) players on his team to take part in the prayer, or make it seem as though it is an officially endorsed action by the public school system. But he absolutely has the freedom to pray whenever he wants for whatever he wants.
People pray out loud all the time...
It sounds like you aren't familiar with any prior articles related to this coach.
C'mon, since when is even cursory knowledge required to comment on the subject? /s
For real. All it does is get in the way of me running my mouth.
I mean, the article that this post is linked to discusses it, and has a link to more information. So, in this case, yes?
It wasn’t like that, he was forcing players to pray, they didn't have to option to object or they would be kicked off the team.
Based on the information from the court case, they didn't find evidence of that
But it was asserted there was social pressure to do so.

Have a source for that assertion?
