Our PE coach didn't yell, he'd blow the whistle if he had to, but it was rarely a problem. If we were outside, every PE started off with 2-4 laps on the track, depending on the activity for the day. Raining, we had suicides, wall sits (we called them phantom chair), and all the usual exercises in the gym before we could play basketball. But there was always a lot of running either way.
He had most of the BB records at the school if his son didn't break them. He was fat now, but the dude could stand at half course and sink shots like he was at the free throw line.
