A Kentucky high school basketball coach has voluntarily resigned after footage was posted to Facebook showing him cursing more than two dozen times while speaking to young athletes.Lynn Camp High School's boys' basketball coach Tyler Wagner was shown in two videos using explicit language with his team in the locker room, criticizing them for playing fearfully and lacking "common sense" on the court."There's not s*** out there. We're getting f***ed in the ass by a bunch of f***ing kids who want it more than we do," Wagner said in the first video. "That's why they're f***ing top-10 in the region.""That's why we're bottom of the f***ing scale," he continued. "[Because] we think we just deserve it ... that's why you're gettin' your ass kicked every goddamned day," the coach added.In the second video, Wagner specified that his players were being too apprehensive in their defensive play and seemed afraid to go hard at the other team's basket."Don't just f***ing stop! Like, what are we doing?! We have no common sense. We're playing back so far that we can't f***ing do nothing!" he complained."What is it, 12 points, 14 points in a f***ing half? In a f***ing half?! 14 f***ing points! Quit being scared when you go in there and just launching it up."'I allowed the competitive environment to get the best of me.'Wagner apologized in a statement, noting that the video was actually from 2023, as the latest season hasn't started yet."The language that I used in this video is not acceptable in any manner. I allowed the competitive environment to get the best of me and for that I am truly sorry," Wagner wrote, per the Lexington Herald-Leader. "I have fully accepted that what I did was not right, and I pledge to be better."A Knox County, Kentucky, spokesperson said county officials had been "informed of a situation showing a coach inappropriately discussing issues with players.""We are unable to discuss specific personnel matters. The coach has since voluntarily resigned from the position," the spokesperson confirmed.Comments on the Facebook videos were seemingly entirely split between the two sexes, with women generally saying the coach went too far while men chalked it up to tough love. "Coaches lead by example and are supposed to teach them how to be respectable young men," one woman wrote."This is ridiculous. ... You will not make these boys tough or play better cussing them like this," another said."This coach needs to be fired!" a different woman replied.Men's comments were as follows:"[It's so] when/if they go to college they don't get their feelings hurt because college coaches are 10000 times worse than this," a user named Brandon said."So when they become adults and go off to college they know how to handle it," another man wrote as a reason for the coach's language."This is light compared to my coaches coming up," another Facebook user said.More women supported the coach than men who condemned him, with at least one woman stating that she wasn't familiar with the locker-room dynamic of men's sports until it was explained to her."At first I was upset with the whole thing until my husband explained to me. He could dial down the cussing but he's doing what a coach does."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

A coach for San Jose State University's women's volleyball team was suspended indefinitely after filing a complaint about her team having a male athlete.Associate head volleyball coach Melissa Batie-Smoose was suspended after she made a Title IX complaint against SJSU, which has a male athlete named Blaire Fleming, born Brayden, on the women's team. Fleming's inclusion on the team has sparked five separate forfeits against SJSU and even caused his own teammate, Brooke Slusser, to speak out against him.SJSU has been hammered over the controversy for months, and now the controversy continues with the suspension of Batie-Smoose, who has made shocking allegations against Fleming.According to her interview with Quillette, Batie-Smoose alleged in her Title IX complaint that Fleming, the male player, conspired with an opposing player at Colorado State University to possibly injure his teammate Slusser.SJSU was visiting CSU in early October when Batie-Smoose learned that Fleming visited the residence of CSU player Malaya Jones, whom he would line up across from on the opposing side during their game the next day.Batie-Smoose said in her complaint that Fleming went on to defy his coaches' instructions during the game by allowing Jones an unhindered hitting lane that exposed Slusser to the ball. The assistant coach further alleged that she saw Fleming and Jones laughing together after targeting Slusser.Fleming's behavior was allegedly so strange that head coach Todd Kress even took Fleming aside for a one-on-one discussion, but he didn't change his behavior."At one point," Batie-Smoose said, "Blaire sent an over pass, perfectly setting up Malaya to kill the ball again in the direction of Brooke Slusser, after [which] Jones blew a kiss toward Fleming and mouthed 'thank you.'"This moment was reportedly caught on video and posted on X.It is alleged that Fleming essentially gave Jones the SJSU playbook and that the two concocted a plan to leave center court open so that Jones could target Slusser with unobstructed powerful strikes. Colorado State University's Malaya Jones [right] is accused of conspiring with Fleming against an SJSU player.Photo by Andrew Wevers/Getty ImagesSJSU responded to allegations made in the article and said the school "takes all reports and complaints seriously and is reviewing them.""Due to federal and state privacy laws, the University is not able to comment on active reports or complaints," the school told Outkick."The University also has concerns about a number of inaccuracies in the article but is not able to comment further on those in light of those privacy laws. In addition, the University has significant concerns about apparent breaches of student and employee privacy and will be addressing those, as appropriate."SJSU's coach Kress has also conspired against Slusser, Batie-Smoose claimed.She said Kress told her that he has filed at least one Title IX complaint against Slusser on the basis that she referred to Fleming with masculine pronouns during media interviews. Kress allegedly described this as a threat to the rights of trans women. SJSU coach Todd Kress reportedly filed a Title IX complaint against his own player for using the wrong pronouns.Photo by Andrew Wevers/Getty ImagesSlusser told Blaze News in an interview that in addition to having to share a changing room with Fleming, team meetings have focused on the transgender athlete's well-being and not that of the female athletes."We've had meetings, and it's a lot of just checking in on Blaire. ... We were like 'what about us?'" Slusser said. "It's mostly just saying you can't be the person to ... identify Blaire's gender identity. 'Blaire needs to do that for himself,'" the girls are told."Everyone above you is telling you you shouldn't be talking for Blaire, you need to make sure the other person is okay; and [the management] is not thinking about, 'Are we okay?'" Slusser explained.Kress, CSU officials, and Jones have not responded to requests for comments from other outlets. This article will be updated should CSU or SJSU officials respond to Blaze News requests for comments.Like Blaze News?

Bluetooth SIG, the organization that oversees Bluetooth development and ensures companies follow its standards, recently announced the new Bluetooth 6 standard. One key feature of Bluetooth 6 is Channel Sounding, which will significantly improve object-tracking solutions. According to the organization, this innovation brings “true distance awareness, introducing transformative benefits across various applications,” making it easier and faster to locate items. This could be as good as Apple's Precision Find feature, but for everyone rather than only people with newer Apple devices. While Bluetooth SIG expects Channel Sounding to start expanding in two to three years, the organization is now focusing on another function that could finally become mainstream by next year: Auracast. Auracast is a new protocol introduced a few years ago with Bluetooth 5.2. It enables shared audio experiences that offer fast pairing with unlimited devices. This could be perfect for conferences, museums, parties, and anything that could benefit from audio experiences for the masses. Bluetooth SIG highlights roadmap, new features, and more In a recent talk with BGR, Chuck Sabin, senior director for marketing development, and Henry Wong, senior manager for marketing development at Bluetooth SIG, explained the organization's roadmap and how they see the future of connected devices with wireless communication improvements. For example, Wong tells BGR that we should expect Auracast solutions for public venues in the first half of 2025. While he doesn't tease what companies will offer these experiences, Chuck Sabin says this is all "a matter of time," as "the infrastructure that enables these possibilities are coming to the market right now. Several iconic locations are working to implement Auracast: theaters, cinemas, opera houses, and so on." One of the use cases for Auracast. Image source: Bluetooth SIG So far, Auracast impressions have been limited to Bluetooth SIG demonstrations at big tech shows, such as CES and IFA. "Part of our role is to demonstrate the vision of what's possible and then highlight the companies that are building products with these technologies. We just did that at IFA," says Sabin. With a projection of over five billion Bluetooth-enabled devices being released in 2024 alone, I questioned why some of these features take so long to become available to the public. With the recently announced Bluetooth 6, Apple, for example, is promoting devices with Bluetooth 5.3—even though it doesn't mean the company enables some of the latest perks, such as Auracast, Bluetooth LE, and so on. They tell me that after Bluetooth announces a new standard, companies take one to two years to add it to their products. However, some manufacturers deliver the new standard and don't turn it on. "Samsung S23, S24, and Flip devices all support Auracast. They didn't at the release, but later, Samsung released a firmware update that turned it all on." Channel Sounding and Digital Keys are Bluetooth's next priorities Image source: Apple Inc. With Auracast finally taking off early next year, Bluetooth SIG will focus on Channel Sounding and Digital Keys. The organization believes these two features will greatly improve our lives with find-my capabilities, the ability to unlock lockers and cars safely with Digital Keys, and also enable higher data throughput with Bluetooth LE. That being said, users should see companies introducing devices with Channel Sounding, higher data transference through Bluetooth, and even wireless communication in higher bands in the coming years. "In 2025, we’re emphasizing LE Audio and Auracast capabilities, pursuing Channel Sounding experiences, Digital Keys support, and find-my solutions throughout 2025," Sabin tells me. You can find a list of devices that already support Auracast technology here.

A couple of weeks after seeding the first beta of iOS 18.2, Apple has now released the second test version. This build should improve general stability while continuing to build the new Apple Intelligence features expected to launch later this year. These are the top features available with iOS 18.2 beta 2: Image Playground: Users can create playful images in seconds, choosing from Animation, Illustration, or Sketch. This app is built right into apps like Messages and is also available in a dedicated app; having trouble with the waitlist? Check this; Genmoji: Create custom emojis by combining two figures; users can type a prompt like “monkey with pink hat” to make an entirely new emoji; here’s how to use it; Image Wand: “Rough sketches can be turned into delightful images, and users can even select empty space to create an image using context from the surrounding area” in the Notes app; ChatGPT integration: When you feel Apple Intelligence isn’t enough, you can allow ChatGPT to access Writing Tools and other features for a better response; if you are tired of Apple Intelligence asking to confirm every prompt, do this. Image source: José Adorno for BGR For iPhone 16 users, iOS 18.2 beta 2 also unlocks new capabilities for Camera Control. Visual Intelligence helps users learn about objects and places faster than ever. Users can click and hold Camera Control to pull up the hours or ratings for a restaurant they pass, add an event from a flyer to their calendar, quickly identify a dog by breed, and more. Despite these Apple Intelligence features, Apple added a few more changes. For example, there's an all-new Mail app, which uses on-device categorization to organize and sort incoming emails into different sections. It's possible to change default Messages and Phone apps, limit how loud your iPhone speakers can play media, and use the Voice Memos app upgrade. BGR will let you know if we learn anything new from this beta. Alongside the iOS 18.2 beta release, Apple is also seeding a new testing version of iPadOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2.

Despite these Apple Intelligence features, it's unclear what else Apple is bringing with iPadOS 18.2. With iOS 18.2, the company is testing an all-new Mail experience. However, it might never be released to iPad users. Here's what Apple says about this upgrade:  Mail is introducing new ways for users to manage their inboxes. On-device categorization organizes and sorts incoming emails into Primary for personal and time-sensitive emails, Transactions for confirmations and receipts, Updates for news and social notifications, and Promotions for marketing emails and coupons. Mail also features a new digest view that pulls together all of the relevant emails from a business, allowing users to quickly scan for what’s important at the moment. With iPadOS 18.1, Apple brought the first batch of Apple Intelligence features, including: Writing Tools: Proofread your text, rewrite different versions until the tone and wording are right, and summarize the selected text with a tap. Improved Siri: With a new design, Siri can maintain context between requests. Even if you stumble over words or shift what you’re saying mid-sentence, Siri can understand what you actually want. Priority notifications: They appear at the top of the stack, letting you know what to pay attention to at a glance. Notifications are summarized, so you can scan them faster. Clean Up: This feature can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo without accidentally altering the subject. Summarization: Apple Intelligence can now summarize more than just Messages and Mail notifications. BGR will let you know if we find anything new with today's iPadOS 18.2 beta. Apple is also releasing the second testing versions of iOS 18.2 and macOS 15.2.
