"The Coach Z says, 'I have more than two prablems.'"

As explained in Main Page 11 and Who Said What Now?, Coach Z has claimed to have "more than two problems". An analysis of his behavior shows the following problems:

• He called Marzipan while drunk, along with Bubs.

Anti-Social Behavior

• He wears a disturbingly small bathing suit when swimming, and doesn't realize that it makes others uncomfortable.
• It has been implied that he has a crush on Marzipan. He has occasionally made "inapprapriate" comments about her and has let it slip that he snuck into her house. It now seems that he has been given a restraining order prohibiting him from coming within 500 feet of Marzipan's house.
• He's been arrested twice, the first time being sent to a juvenile prison and the second time being tried as a minor, with his own defense lawyer having trouble believing his innocence despite possible evidence exonerating him of his unnamed crime.
• He has been known to respond to "what's up" with information about his butt or other embarrassing physical problems, according to a song about how to be more socially acceptable, sung by Homestar.
• He pretended to get a call from his parents during which he lied about having prepared a traditional Decemberween dinner and inviting guests while actually dining alone on Salisbury steak.
