    Coach Tipton was a great teacher as well as a great coach. I could never imagine this being true, and agree that he is innocent & there is more to the story you are just too ready to put someone & not look deeper, that is not the coach tipton we all know and love.

    Actually, John Tipton is a really great teacher and coach. I don’t know what the deal is with this whole sting, but I believe he is innocent and that there is more to the story. Just because someone said it was him and the police arrested him, doesn’t make him guilty.
