A Texas high school basketball player attacked his coach in the parking lot after he was benched for unsportsmanlike conduct during a game earlier that night.
Jevin Allen, 17, and his brother Jarrick Allen, 22, who were also allegedly involved in the beating, were arrested on Dec. 5 for the attack that left the coach with head, neck, face and arm injuries, authorities said.
The coach, who has not been named, told the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office that Jevin was benched during an away game “due to his conduct toward opposing team players” — a disciplinary action that “outraged” the teenager and his family.
After returning to their school, Willis High School in Conroe, Tx. at about 9:52 p.m. after the game, the coach found the teenager and his family waiting for him in the parking lot, authorities said.
The relatives confronted the coach, and the fight escalated when Jevin allegedly punched him in the face, the sheriff’s office said.
His brother immediately joined in, with both hitting the victim until another coach and several bystanders stepped in to break up the fight, authorities said.

They were released from the Montgomery County Jail after posting $23,000 bond each.
The coach is recovering from his injuries, and Jevin is no longer enrolled at the school, according to a statement the district provided to KHOU.
“The investigation is still ongoing, but we have determined that the student’s address is no longer valid, so he has been withdrawn from the district. We are deeply saddened by this incident and will not tolerate this behavior from students,” the statement said.
Conroe is a medium-sized city of about 95,000 residents located 40 miles north of Houston.
