Hillsborough: Youth coaching rules to change: "Armand Cotnoir spent more than a year in federal prison but was still allowed to coach a youth football team in Plant City.
Lee Arthur Chavis failed a county background check, which showed more than a half dozen arrests - including one accusing him of aggravated battery on a pregnant woman. But he asked for a second chance to coach football and got it.
Two months later, Chavis was back in jail, accused of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl.
Hillsborough County officials couldn't say for sure how many more volunteers with criminal pasts took the field after showing remorse and pleading their cases to a volunteer appeals board."
