According to ESPN’s Outside the Lines, in a letter written by John Jay High School principal Robert Harris, Harris admits assistant football coach Mack Breed “directed the students to make the referee pay for his racial comments and calls” during a game earlier this month. Harris did speak with John Jay head coach Gary Gutierrez after the game.

quote:
“(Gutierrez) informed me that Coach Breed had disclosed to him that he directed the players to take out the referee,” Harris wrote in his letter. “(Gutierrez) stated that Coach Breed initially asked him what was going to happen to the players during their ride home from the game. After Coach Gutierrez informed him that the players would be removed from the team, he informed Coach Gutierrez that he directed the players to strike the referee.”

“I later met with Coach Breed at John Jay High School … in my office in the presence of Coach Gutierrez,” Harris wrote. “Coach Breed told me that he directed the students to make the referee pay for his racial comments and calls. He wanted to take full responsibility for his actions. Mr. Breed at one point during our conversation stated that he should have handled the referee himself.”

I still don't buy the racial comments.

So one count of accessory before the fact assault and two counts of assault.

@JETigER - "The ref's silence means that he made intentional bad calls against the team on purpose."

maybe if you are between the ages of 12 and 15...?

They could have gotten him yanked from the game and fired over racial slurs. They didn't, even though they were pissed about the calls, sounds believable.

So, the coach sent in kids to assault the ref instead of handling this himself in a more civil manner. Nice job "coach."

Wait, so this assistant coach played football at Mizzou? Holy shite

the ref says he didn't "say racial" but is silent on if he made "bad calls". The ref's silence means that he made intentional bad calls against the team on purpose.
