A Texas high school student and his brother were recently arrested after attacking the basketball coach who benched him during a game.
On December 5, authorities were dispatched to Willis High School in Texas following a game against Conroe High School.
According to the coach, the player, identified by KTRK as Jevin Allen, was benched during the game because of his behavior toward an opposing team player.
According to police reports, deputies said that the coach received injuries to his head, neck, face, and arms during the assault.
The coach told deputies he was assaulted by several people, including a 17-year-old student, after a basketball game against Conroe High School.
The coach said the player and his family became upset and when the team returned to Willis High School, the coach said the family was waiting for him there.
According to police reports the family approached the coach and began a verbal confrontation that escalated to Allen punching him in the face.
Allen’s 22-year-old brother, Jarrick Allen, also began to assault the coach, police said.
The fight was eventually broken up by another coach and some bystanders, police said, and the group who assaulted the coach ran away before police showed up.
