Dorn went on to suggest that teachers like Coach Joe are not good role models. 

"School staff exercising their right to silently pray in private on their own is fine. But leading a prayer isn't," he said. "School officials are role models; leading a prayer might put a student in an awkward position, even if the prayer is voluntary. For students who don't share the official's faith, players, the official's public expression of faith can seem exclusionary or even distressing."

For the record, Coach Joe never invited anyone to pray with him—especially students. They chose to participate by their own free will.
