Because if Holly's theory is right, hes the next in line to get his identity stolen (or whatever is happening)....he was scratched by the coach or whatever was impersonating the coach. Just like the coach was scratched at the hospital.

Imagine your spouse being accused of murdering a child with all the evidence pointing to his guilt AND his innocence at the same time. Then he/she dies before trial and a jury can't even decide what they believe...
...then the detective working the case comes to you and says, his gut is telling him that he didn't do it and that he's going to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of it. Now after weeks of digging deeper and hiring this high priced PI to investigate the case, you go to a briefing meeting to get updates on what has been discovered thus far
The PI then tells you that after spending days investigating and driving all over the Midwest and East Coast evaluating clues and leads, that she believes your spouse is innocent...HOWEVER, she also strongly suspects that The Boogie Man framed him of the crimes he's accused of.
You think everybody would take that information and be like...
"Great work and progress! What's next!"
Hell nahhhhhhh, muhfukkas would be sitting there furious like
I'll be honest...the fact that there were people that had a similar story, and had similar tragic events take place? The fact that my spouse had a chance encounter with someone who experienced the same shyt? Too much weird shyt is happening. I would believe the magical negro on this one lol. The Hispanic cop's whole demeanor switched when she mentioned El Cuco (I don't even like typing that shyt
) and he started working that angle. The white cop know some bullshyt is going down and denying the shyt.
We're all different and would process that kind of info however, I'm just saying, it's understandable for her to be extremely frustrated at the direction that the journey is going.I'll be honest...the fact that there were people that had a similar story, and had similar tragic events take place?

people are calling this a slow burn? seems nicely paced to me
people must not read or watch to many mystery novels/moves/shows because this show is appropriately doing what its suppose to do as a mystery series
I guess people wanted more action

I consider myself pretty open minded to the unexplainable. I will never understand how people watch horror movies or movies/shows based on the supernatural and expect the characters in said shows/movies to behave as if they're aware they're in a horror movie. If my 7yr old says she saw a weird man in her room and I could find no evidence (unlocked window, doors, hearing footsteps) to make that seem possible, I'm going to assume it's her imagination. Just because there might be a murderer lurking around does not mean my instinct will be to just roll with the Boogie Man existing. I have a home security system, my doors and windows are locked, my children have gone through a traumatic experience with the passing of a parent, nothing is pointing to the supernatural as to why she's making these claims.
Six degrees of separation makes three people crossing paths not that farfetched. Their other similarities are obviously harder to excuse as mere coincidence, but it's still a lot to ask for a rational adult to just ride with an evil entity being the obvious culprit. Imagine your child complained about a monster under her bed, you checked and there's no monster, but you decided "fukk it, we're moving
". You'd be moving a lot. Like any horror movie or show, the skeptics need to experience the paranormal before accepting it as fact.

That's the term that was used in the episode or did you place that there yourself?

The thing is, most of the people in that room didn't see anything themselves to let them know they're in a Stephen King story. They don't know what genre of story they are in.
If it were a sci-fi story, it would be equally logical to say the killer came from a parallel universe or from the future, or that there was a glitch in The Matrix. But we know it's the The Boogieman because we know what we're watching.
In the real world, it would be more plausible (yet still far-fetched) to say it's a conspiracy between the "witnesses".
This is why SK is my favorite author. His ability to scare the ever living shyt out of adults and children alike are like none other. You get a chance read The Jaunt or the short story "N" .Audio/visual is below. Don't want to throw off the thread.

Magical Negro - Wikipedia
And I understand the character in the book was not black, but they have backed into the trope.
Anybody here that’s watching this, has watched the second season of The Sinner on Netflix??
