Does the story include how Olsen turned a blind eye when some of his players beat a rival player and left him in the street? There are so many sports leaders who influence their players in a positive way that I have to wonder why MSG chose to do a story on Olsen.

The article clearly states that "the incident" was covered in the documentary. Inflammatory comments like the one above from Lorraine ensure that the negativity generated by the polarizing situation will continue and community healing cannot take place.

Do they mention the strong PAL and Boys and Girls Club football programs? He is a great football coach, but lets face it, without a great feeder program, one can only go so far.

"Part One shows the family dealing with the controversy involving the weeks long saga and fallout from an incident last fall. Nine Wayne Hills allegedly assaulted two Wayne Valley High School students after a Halloween part.

The players were suspended for the Indians’ state championship game last December."

Um...Wayne Hills is the Patriots. I think that's why they called the film "The Last Patriot".

Wayne Valley is the Indians.

Mr Olsen is a very nice man, and he is a winner. He is seen as having a bad temper, but it is because he cares so much about this team and this town. The worst thing that could happen is what already did. There was no reason to make him quit, it was just whiny parents cause of an incident unrelated to him. The team will end up worse off and wont win as much and we will end up paying more to replace his positions....

who cares about conflict of interest? You have to look at the bigger picture. He is a big time coach. I am sure he could coach a big time college program with his resume, but he stays at Hills because of his kids. The AD position was just to pay him what he is worth. He is an asset to the school, his program gets positive PR for the school, it drives up the value of the town by people with kids who are good in footall wanting to live here, it brings in revenue to Hills in ticket sales. We have a lot of room to cut budgets in wayne, the BOE, the police departent especially, but not a great coach, a good person, and a good citizen.

Seriously Brad there are more things to Wayne then football. Also as far as conflict of interest goes people who are against what took place last fall are against conflict of interest. You cannot have an Athletic director going to the board of education and saying " The only thing these boys are guilty of is playing football for Wayne Hills". That's exactly why you can't have conflict of interest. I for one can't wait until he leaves the district.

In the meantime, congratulations to Kevin Olsen who at a young age has displayed admirable athletic talents and skills - enough so to have lead his team to a football championship as a junior and enough to be recruited by a fine football program prior to the start of his Senior year. He has enough poise and presence to be "cast" as the subject of a documentary and has a very bright future. His brothers were also standout athletes and began the legacy of their generation of the Olsen family. Congratulations on your accomplishments Christian, Greg, and Kevin. We look forward to hearing more from each of you in your journey through life.

Lorraine....Well, lets see...turning a blind eye would mean he was there, which he wasn't. The dopey little smart a$$ that started the fight (from the valley side, btw), is not a player, nor could he ever be. Neither was his friend.

So that leaves the third ridiculous comment from Lorraine, who is likely a man using a female name, regarding why MSG would do a piece on coach Olsen...well, objectively, he's given 25 years of his life to WH football, countless hours coaching kids at the PAL, has had tremendous and consistent success as a public HS football coach which isn't easy in these days of parochial recruiting...oh, I don't know, maybe a HS sports station felt it was a good fit or something....

Remember this, haters. Wayne will not have another coach like Mr. Olsen ever again. There will be no good or better coach work here due to people like you that drive good people out, and now get stuck with anyone. Yes the programs will continue but give it sometime as parents who now volunteer will slowly pull back and not do a thing. Mark my words as I seen it happen in other towns. I'm not trying to idolize this man I'm expressing my feelings and views.

Congratulations Coach, you and your family have made it possible for many of Wayne's kids to go on to college and successful lives. Many of the naysayers are just beside themselves because they could not be a part of this successful program for so many years. Continued success this year and in the future.

This didn't happen on school property. This didn't happen at a school function. This didn't happen in or on Coach Olsens property. This didn't happen if they would have been band members or some other sports kids. WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE THE NEWS !!!!! Thank you media for turning this into a three ring circus. Kids get into fights everyday, Don't see that in the HEADLINES !!!!!!!!

It wasn't a fight. It was 8 kids teaming up on 2. It would have never made the news if Olsen suspended the kids 1 game and let that be the end of it. He went and tried to bully the board of education. Guess what Olsen these boys were guilty of more then just being wayne Hills Football players.

Why should Olsen suspend these kids ? Maybe the parents should have suspended these kids at home. If this happened at school or at a school function,YES. Coach Olsen would have SUSPENDED THOSE KIDS. He's a Coach to those kids,not their PARENTS.Maybe the parents should SUSPEND those kids at home ? YA THINK ?

SUSPENDING those kids. HELLO PARENTS !!!!!! Do you care what your children do anymore. HE IS A COACH,NOT THEIR PARENTS !!!!!

I have had to deal with him on more than one occasion.One more year and it's over.I'm glad my son is out of there and I would NEVER let my kids play sports in school again!

Very well said Joe, You can't blame the Coach. If he wasn't hard or stood up for the kids who respect him, you think the kids wouldn't put in 110% and win all those state football titles ? The media is what took the ball and ran it in the wrong direction. Now let's put this behind us and win one more for the Coach. GO HILLS !!!!

Okay I don't care about state titles. I care more about the safety of my kids then a football game.If you think Olsen is a stand up guy and great for Wayne good for you your entitled to your opinion just like I'm entitled to mine. Also I believe Olsen was the one who took it in the wrong direction when he didn't keep his mouth shut.

Sorry Joe,but I don't understand what cars in bushes and cops have to do with this.All I said was I had to deal with coaches,including baseball and that's why my son's school sports ended in his jr. year.If you have no problem's with some of the coaches,that's fine.We did.

It has nothing to do with that. He played varsity part of his soph. year and all his jr. year.Coaches need to send a message that winning isn't everything and learn to lose with dignity cause life is not that easy and speak to the kid's in english and not a four letter vocabulary

If you don't care about the language they use, that's your business but I won't put up with it.I don't think you would put up with it from your boss either.I'm sure you never made a mistake at your job.Ask my former boss what his mouth cost him.As I said one more year and farewell coach!

Joe are you kidding me? Did you see the way he talked to his quarterback during the Ramapo vs Wayne Hills game in 2009? That was way out out of line and lots of people saw it. If you learned how to talk to people then there would be no confrontation. And there's a difference between talking to his players and blasting his players. Do you think he would ever talk to Kevin the way he talked to his 2009 QB?

You hit it Gordon.A while back there was a rule put in place that any cursing would result being ejected.I asked a friend who was a ref but has since retired why nothing was done and you could easily read his lips and he told me he was told to leave it alone.I guess what goes for the goose doesn't go for the gander.

John if thats the case your friend is a COWARD! If he was a high school official, saw an infraction and CHOSE to ignore it, he is CROOKED! His job is to oversee the game for the fairness, safety and enjoyment of all. Not selectively enforce rules to make his life less stressful.

Gordon, don't kid yourself. Any of the Olsen's would be addressed as each of their teammates if they failed to play to their potential.

Hes a football coach. Not a mentor, role model, disciplinarian, security guard, babysitter, or member of law enforcement. The fact that so many in this town are so intimidated by him is comical. 8 undisciplined children did in one evening what hundreds of scared parents couldn't do through his tenure as coach. Now the very same come on the Patch to let everyone know how tough they are with a "renegade" coach who has been un the district for better than 2 decades. Laughable!

Not a mentor or role model! Are you kidding me.Last I heard a teacher is supposed to set an example.If a coach,not olsen called your kid a dyke,gay bird or said he hated f-ing jew;s, what would you do.That's why my son and 3 other kids quit in their jr.year.If you think that that's ok for a teacher/coach to say,brother you need some serious help!

You let a township employee talk to your son like that and did nothing? Look in the mirror and see who needs help! You, a father taught your son to accept (if true) vile, racist and hate filled speech without holding the township employee to task? I know what I would do, without question.

A letter was sent to athletic director Ascolese by one of the other parents and nothing was done.I confronted him myself and all he was looking for was a fight.I don't go there so just to let you know he's still there

Sounds like you really put up a furious fight. Since you gave up that fight why don't you just let the blog bashing end as well. If any township employee chose to use hate based speech as you noted the township would be forced to over react to protect the safety of a minor and that coach would be removed. All of this has been done in by 8 kids and their lazy parents, your "piling on" now seems a little sensational. Hopefully in the future any student who feels an employee of the township or BOE is employing such vile and damaging hate speech is not alone and can find an adult to provide assistance and direct them to a helping hand.

i find it mind boggling that there is an article on patch about a teacher who allegedly molested a student and no one comments, yet this article, which is about a coach, his family and a team in town being chronicled in a special for a high school tv station is commented on over and over again. its unreal to me,,,,,,,

ps d marston,,,,,im sure you are a perfect parent,,,,but i doubt you know anything about the parents of the kids involved or how they are dealing with all of this,,,,,i can only hope that you are never faced with a child making a mistake,,,,,

Isn't sad that so few so greatly affected so many?

what sad is that you think you know everything

not everything, just enough

im sure you do but if you dont know these parents, please stop,,,,,

so I should continue then?

then you must know me,,,,,i guess we will be talking soon

And the Olsen/WHHS apologists rise out of the ground like zombies. Must. Agree. With Olsen.

Folks, it's not the wins/losses. It's not the "he turns boys into men.". It's the cocky arrogant sense of entitlement that passes from him to you apologists. Simply put, while he may be a winner in sports, he's a loser in the game called life. May his next career bring him some humility.

14 minutes to write a poem I think.You better keep your day job if you have one

One thing is certain in Wayne. { Almost all } of our high school principals and vice principals were physical education teachers first, and almost all of them coached after-school sports first, including our Athletic Directors. Even now, most of the NEW high school principals and vice principals are former Gym teachers.
Many people didn't know that, but this 'funnel' has been in place for many years, and no one ever questions the genre. This leads me to believe that the community is either very satisfied with the funnel system, never put the pieces together, or doesn't really care about the postions enough to be concerned about who is filling them.
My question's are: If so many of our coaches don't care about winning or losing, why do we keep hanging only the banners of our State Champion Winners or Runner-up's on the walls of our Gymnasiums. ? Are we ashamed when our teams don't win ? Are we supposed to be less proud of our team that finishes last, or doesn't win any games during the season ? Did they have less integrety, ambition, or determination as our past "winners" ? If it's okay to lose, how come we don't display a banner on the wall that says " Last year we lost" ?
It's all about winning, thats why. Read the writing on the walls.
Sports is based on the ability to win over your opponent, if it wasn't, sports would have S.A.T's. Colleges don't want athletes that are "equal", they want athletes that are better. Stop the nonsense.

Hey Joe you see what happened at Penn State? You know how many people hate Paterno because he didn't go to the cops? People do want to win but it shouldn't be at ALL costs. Also like I said if your quarterback is playing bad there are ways to talk to him without cursing a him. Also he should have been suspended indefinitely afetr he threw his clipboard The big baby.

They now make bullet-proof clipboards that act as a mini shield in case your attacked. In the future I see more people holding on to them. They also have www.USTREAM for androids and Iphones. Just sign up and you can go live as you record these incidents of abuse, vulger language, corruption etc. It netcasts the raw media worldwide. This takes away any chance of denial. You can also record any type of sporting event or any other event for that matter and webcast it instantly "for free". No cost to sign up. Archives right to facebook, web page etc. Cool stuff !!!
Live streaming is going to be in everything from the classroom to the conference room ( if it's not already). No more he said she said nonsense.

Videodummy your are exactly that a dummy. Also I don't need to record it because everybody knows it happened and Olsen throwing his clip board to this day is still on youtube. Awesome sportsmanship by a "good" Man. The way he talked to his QB and the way he threw his clipboard without thinking it may have hit somebody is Terrible. Somebody like that shouldn't even be coaching.

@stewart pidd. I'm not keeping score, but Olsen has / will have put 3 kids thru college for $0, retire with a fat pension and hang around his famous NFL son's house babysitting the grandkids. I could make the case he's winning in the game called life.

Great show! Your family was great especially the old video clips. Sue is and should be an inspiration to all women. Most people didnt know the agony of getting and living with cancer. Maybe an asst. coach with the Panthers Chris Sr.? Chris Jr. eating too many fries!

' Nine Wayne Hills allegedly assaulted two Wayne Valley High School students' weren't 8 of them found quilty?
