Principal: Texas football coach says he ordered hit on ref
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A high school principal in Texas says the school's assistant football coach has acknowledged directing two players to a hit a referee during a game earlier this month.
In an internal school district statement first reported by ESPN (http://es.pn/1OuBule), John Jay High School Principal Robert Harris says assistant coach Mack Breed told him he asked the students to hit the referee because the ref had used racial slurs and missed calls.
The referee, Robert Watts, has denied using any slurs.
