I agree. One thing that our coaches had going for them that gave them a lot of discretion with corporal punishment was that they were still authority figures and parents, especially dads, wouldn't have questioned their authority or decisions off the playing field. Almost all dads still spanked when I was a kid and wouldn't have objected to a coach spanking their kids at all. In fact, there was an expectation that coaches should discipline boys promptly and as often as needed. There was no idea that discipline in the way of several hard swats with a paddle was a bad thing to do. That normal male rite-of-passage idea that you mentioned was very true. Getting our butts paddled was masculine in those years and was no different than the hazing than older kids did to younger kids in junior high and high school.

It also helped that we looked up to our coaches and that they were not usually mean or bad people. There were a few that were scarier than others, but they could be encouraging to us and help us out too. Even a coach that paddled me one day might be a great coach to me the next day. Any resentment that I had about being paddled didn't last. I think that some coaches were smart enough to know that giving encouragement later to a kid that they had disciplined was better coaching.
