Texas high school basketball player beat up coach after being benched for poor sportsmanship

A Texas high school basketball player, upset that he was benched and facing suspension, allegedly pummeled his coach during a postgame parking lot beatdown, officials said Tuesday.

The 17-year-old player and his 22-year-old brother were booked on suspicion of assaulting a public servant before each posted a $20,000 bond and being released on Wednesday, the Montgomery County Jail said. NBC News does not usually name minors charged with a crime.

“I would have never thought in a million years this would happen to me with this his particular kid," Willis High School coach Jeremy Clark told NBC News on Tuesday.

Hours before the alleged Dec. 5 assault, about 50 miles north of Houston, the player had been taken out of Willis' game at Conroe High School for arguing with an opponent and referees, according to his coach.

Clark, 37, said he wanted the 17-year-old to cool off but the player angrily told an assistant coach and his teammates not to speak to him, leading to the benching.
