Another reason not to coach

A while back, we passed on an item about a high school football coach getting clobbered in the face with a helmet by a parent after simply asking the man’s two sons to get on the team bus. Now another coach has been assaulted, this time for the egregious mistake of making a player run laps.

The player’s father, Ronald Lee II, allegedly sucker-punched (what else?) Preston Theodore Moses, an assistant coach for the Pebblebrook High Falcons in Mableton, Ga., sending Moses to the hospital.

Lee eventually was arrested and has been charged with felony battery of a school official.

If sucker-punching another person doesn’t show enough gutlessness, here’s two other details from the incident. According to witnesses, Lee reportedly put something in his hand before hitting the coach (brass knucks? roll of quarters?) and brought three other men with him to the team’s practice to back up his thuggery.

What a man.
