Coach, hypnotize me?!

By Michael Cooper | Thursday, February 5, 2009, 02:17 PM

Coaches will do anything to win a basketball game.

It seems a team in St. John, Kansas, two years removed from a state title, was hypnotizing players to elevate their athletic performance. But the school board decided they’re no longer allowed to use hypnosis.

The night after the board ordered the hypnosis to stop, St. John beat Western Plains 53-43 in Ransom. Before the game, Western Plains assistant coach Jerod Horchem said he wasn’t concerned that his team’s opponents had used hypnotism. He noted that it doesn’t matter what motivational method is used if it brings a team together. “If we did something like that we’d probably hypnotize our guys, they’d fall asleep and never wake up,” Horchem said. “But if that would make them shoot better and I could do that in the next 10 minutes, then get me a watch on a string.”
