I had an intense basketball coach in high school who would do this, punishing the culprit by making everyone on the team do suicides or push-ups while the ne\'re-do-well watched.
I don\'t know if it was the right thing to do, but I feel it was fairly effective since you didn\'t want your teammates to be mad at you...but I wouldn\'t really suggest it for running sports
If a teammate brought a gun and shot 3 assistants coaches, would you expect everybody on the team to spend the rest of their life in prison?
