Summary | A high school sports coach has recently been fired because he was secretly recorded while speaking to his team. The record alluded to physical violence - which he corrected in the recorded speech as a mere metaphor, not an actual recommendation - and inappropriate words. It is not entirely clear whether the student was allowed to record the conversation because a locker room speech is not technically in a classroom and was not explicitly classified as private. Coaches need to be aware that there is no privacy with smartphones everywhere.
