 A former football coach avoids a trial, Rex Oates explains. Former Kingfisher High School football coach Jeff Myers will not stand trial for allegedly condoning locker room fights and wet towel beatings. After a preliminary hearing Thursday in Kingfisher County District Court, a judge ruled there's not enough evidence for Myers to stand trial for child neglect. Myers resigned as part of a $5 million settlement in a lawsuit filed by a former player who endured the abuse. Myers has denied any wrongdoing.
