Debate Coach Moons Spectators

The video records a heated exchange between the two coaches regarding their involvement with the student debaters.

At the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) quarterfinals last March, the Fort Hays State University assistant professor got into a screaming match with rival coach Shanara Reid-Brinkley from the University of Pittsburgh. The argument devolved into an ugly exchange of profanity and Shanahan pulled down his pants, mooning the audience.
Warning: Profanity in video linked below:
