That being said, I don't know if the coaches neglect is the same as murdering the kid. Homicide charges seem rather harsh to me.

That part I agree with as well. And I'm not sure what "denied them water" means either. Did he just not give them a water break? I mean I'm going to assume that alot of people here played football and I mean its a tough situation and coaches try to imply that "tough love"... homicide charges do seem awfully steep.
