A college football player at Tennessee State University punched a coach on the sideline during a game this weekend and was subsequently expelled and dismissed from the team, The Tennessean reported.

Strength and conditioning coach T.J. Greenstone was knocked to the ground after Latrelle Lee, a senior defensive end, reportedly punched him multiple times in the head. The incident was caught on video.

Greenstone is a former Vanderbilt defensive tackle, who instructs his players to “get back” and keep their distance from the sidelines when they aren’t in the game.

The TSU offense was on the field when the incident occurred.

Athletic director Teresa Phillips said in a statement to the Tennesean, “We, of course do not condone any act of violence within our department and are very disturbed by the action of one of our students.” Adding, “We are committed to supporting the coach who was personally affected and our concern now is with him.”

Lee, who appeared in 36 games throughout his career, did not play during Saturday night’s game, a 23-20 win over Southeast Missouri.

Seems like his strength and conditioning program was working at least :box:

Happened in last week's game against Southeast Missouri State (SEMO). It wasn't his head coach, but a strength and conditioning coach but still wtf. I've never seen this happen before.

Criminal assault exacerbated by a "blind-side" sucker punch. Player isn't just a thug, he's a coward too.

Yeah this guy really needs to examine where he is at, but of course he probably won't and we will end up paying to keep him away from us for much of his life.

Looks like some of the gang sh!t we have from time to time. Embarrassing that they ever gave that player a jersey, three squares, and an opportunity for an education.

From the reaction of the other players on the sideline, it looks like the punch came as a surprise to no one.
