Angry parents give a hoot about coach's dining choice

Nation's Restaurant News, Dec 17, 2001

SAN DIEGO -- A high-school baseball coach took heat from several angry parents after they learned that he and his players had dined at a Hooters restaurant here during a tournament.

According to a report in USA Today, Barry Harrington, coach for the Alta High team from Sandy, Utah, said he had taken his team and staff to Hooters because no other restaurant in the area could accommodate the 30-person group.

Harrington was suspeneded for a game and ordered to write apologies to players and their parents. But the sight of Hooters' waitresses may have been the high point of the team's trip: Alta High went 0-4 in the tournament.
