Something like this should never happen. Coaches are going to yell at players. Coaches are going to discipline players. That's part of coaching. It's like a sergeant yelling at a private in the military. It's part of what some young men need to make them pay attention. You never lay a hand on a coach or referee. For goodness sakes, what is this country coming to? The disrespect for authority is out of control. The player being expelled from school is exactly what should have happened to him.

If you saw Last Chance U season 2, you can see how this could easily get out of hand.
I'm not saying that either the coach or player went that far, but I could see how it might.

Yeah, and watching that show I can also see how a coach might deserve to get punched. :biggrin:

This was a sucker punch; knocked the coach out on the second blow. A battery charge is called for.

Saw this on the interwebs the other day. Must be a messed up culture there considering none of the players on the sideline acted like this was something out of the ordinary. No reaction at all from the players on the sideline. That's just as troubling as the act itself..

After watching the video of how it went down this kid needs to have charges pressed against him. On the man law side of things. If I'm the coach who got sucker punched and assuming this cat's "of age" by the law. It would be very hard for me not to pay him a visit "off the clock" and discuss this with him.

I am wondering what was going on that we don't know about, because the video just doesn't make sense.

It doesn't. It definitely doesn't make sense how the players around the incident didn't even act like anything happened. Which is very, very disturbing that a human being can sit and watch another human being do that and not have any reaction whatsoever. But that's a discussion for another board on another day.

I think there is more to the story. I think the player had reputation for having bad temper and he just got caught up in the moment.

There's having a bad temper and then there's having a problem with rage. I'm hoping there's A LOT more to this story than this kid having this type of anger problem. WOW!

I agree - I just don't see him hitting the coach totally unprovoked because he was upset about something unrelated.

Surely there's more to this story, and I don't mean explaining why they were arguing. Like others have said, the players and staff around them didn't do a thing. No one tried to break up the argument. No one rushed over to grab the player for punching a coach multiple times.

He's already received some punishment by being expelled. Curious what an internal investigation would find, and what punishments the findings would cause the administration to hand out.
