NASHVILLE — Charges may be filed against a Tennessee State University football player dismissed from the team and expelled from school after he attacked assistant coach T.J. Greenstone on the sideline during the Tigers' game on Saturday. 

Head coach Rod Reed kicked Latrelle Lee, a senior defensive end from Dothan, Ala., off the team immediately after the game for improper misconduct following the assault, TSU officials confirmed.

Lee, 22, was expelled from the university Monday morning.

Is it just me, or is something missing here? I'm unable to find video that shows what might have lead up to the blows. Besides being the teams strength and conditioning coach, Coach Greenstone is also tasked with walking the sidelines, keeping the players not in the game from getting too close to the sidelines. Lee, a senior, is/was a criminal justice major.

Doesn't pass the sniff test for me. Anyone know anything more?

First, they kneel for the anthem.  Then, they attack.  

Disrespecting the anthem and US soldiers is just a gateway to more violent conduct.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Wow...everyone standing around is so nonchalant about it too.

That was the oddest thing about the video to me - nobody went to the defense of the coach.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Even the coach that watches him fall, then immediately looks back to the field...

In the words of Dalton I'm going to say "You don't have the right temperament for the trade"

AGAIN??!! WTF IS GOING ON???

Beat to the punch. That's what happens when you post at work...

 

[Jobber]

I know nothing abiut this player, but if he can say goodbye to any NFL aspirations he may have had. Not even the Raiders would take him now.

Apparently the players were getting too close to the sideline and the coach kept telling them to get back....appears Lee took umbrage with his tone.

It takes that tough guy 2 sucker punches to knock out a coach? Weak.
He's gonna need all that criminal justice knowledge when he turns to a life of crime.  

 

[Sinn Fein]

Odds of a "racist comment" led to the punches?

Did you see a pic of the coach? Neck as thick as my thigh.

My money is on Coach Greenstone lacking in social ettiquette.

 

[Sinn Fein]

  Just saw this comment:

 Am told this wasn't his first time hitting a staff member. How is that possible?

Great program...

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Going to need to know the player's association with UCLA before deciding if he should face any punishment

Odds the kid claims it was ... 100%.  It's his easiest escape route.

There were a dozen other players and a coach within earshot so we'll know if that's true or not.

I agree..he probably had it coming. Hopefully a couple of sucker punches to the temple knocked a little sense into him.

 

[glock]

..he probably had it coming.

I didn't say that. Just saying that something like this doesn't happen in a vacuum. Awaiting the complete video.

 

[Sabertooth]

Many people to blame I’m sure, on both sides.  

 

[OrtonToOlsen]

If God can forgive Latrell, I can too.

 

[mr. furley]

if any one of you ever played sports and said you never wanted to punch out one of your coaches, you're lying

You mean like the player's mom and dad? Cuz whoever raised him kinda failed.

 

[The General]

Hey coach, what did the five fingers say to the face?

 

[Da Guru]

Sports?  I have wanted to punch out my BIL, my former boss, a smart assed cashier at Kroger, the kid who made me a crappy pizza last week, some bozo who would not shut up at a theatre.

 

[Sinn Fein]

Psst ...that only works for white people. It's one of the perks.

After seeing THIS pic, I'm actually surprised he dropped after 2.

The difference is that most of us have enough class and self control to not cheap shot a superior. MOST.

Getting punched twice in the temple area by a 6-2 250lb football player while not looking would drop pretty much anybody.

And if you watch the video- they all appear to be from one source- not only does it not show the lead up to the incident, it goes forward and backward and foward and THEN appears to show more of a brief scuffle- the other coach at left extending an arm-  before the two blows land. Something like that.

Show this clip to your coworker and film his reaction.

let me put on my rain coat first. the volume of spittle and spastic gesticulating in combination could lead to me slipping and falling if he bumps me at just the wrong angle. 

 

[lod001]

Going to have to wait to hear what caused it before I judge but if it wasn't the coach, not only should the player be booted from the school and sent to jail but the other coach and every player within a few feet need booted off the campus. No one intervened.

8th grade basketball

i love talking 8th grade basketball

we had 8 kids. we had to scrimmage against our girls team if they were in the same gym. if not the starters went against our bench (3 kids who had zero athletic ability whatsoever) and the 2 coaches.

i was.... 5'6"? 5'7"? then and played forward. our center was maybe 5'10"

one coach was about 6' but mean as a chained pitbull. biker gang member, alcoholic, chainsmoking, fistfighting sonofa#####. he and the other coach.. about 6'2" - 6'3" and a nimble 3 bills easy played in a men's league together. they used our practices as warmup for their games. 

they would fast break up and down the court on us. the bigger dude could dunk so he would slam the ball 50% of the time. fun times.

definitely wanted to punch those dudes but also didn't want to end up in a rain barrel under the swamp floor.

 

[Kal El]

Surprised the head coach waited until after the game to kick him off the team. He should have been sent packing immediately, go take a shower and find a ride home, and don't bother showing up to practice.

wow....wonder how this would have worked out if they actually squared off.....My money is on coach. 

 

[Evilgrin 72]

I don't. I have ruled that the player is stupid. Let's say the coach provoked him by spewing an uninterrupted stream of personal aspersions and racial epithets. If the kid walks off the sideline and then repeats everything the coach said to the press, the guy will probably never coach again. He had a sideline full of people that would back him up. Instead, he knocks the guy out. Now the coach is a victim and the kid's life is basically ruined. No degree, will never play football again, and is likely to end up in jail. 

So, yeah, you can say he's young, you can say he was provoked, but let's call it like it is. It was a stupid move. *gavel bang* Next case....

Wanna add anymore stupid racism bull#### to the thread or did you get it all out of your system for now?

 

[avoiding injuries]

Coach should have shown more respect. Can't be dissing on the sidelines. 

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Saw this on the news and they interviewed his mom and she was smiling "There's two sides to every story."

There are nice people on both sides of this issue.
