>> included actual photographs of the coach huddling/praying with the whole team, which is quite coercive behavior The photo on the bottom right was from before the coach was asked to stop giving post-game talks that included prayer, an order he complied with. It is not the behavior at question in the court case, so absolutely irrelevant to the matter at hand. I think Sotomayor should have included a date on the photo to make this clear. Photo on the top right is of the coach being joined in prayer only by members of the opposing team, so if he was coercing the players on his own team, is was quite ineffective. It was a silent prayer, so yes, quiet. Photo on the left is the coach being joined in prayer by members of the public, not team members, so also not good evidence of coercion. Also a silent prayer, so yes, quiet.
