A former assistant high school football coach was arrested Saturday morning and charged with suspicion of burglary, vandalism and attempted arson after being caught driving on the lawn of his former employer. Brian Butcher was laid off from his receivers and defensive backs coaching position on the freshman-sophomore team by Los Gatos High School a year ago, but he hasn’t gotten over it yet.

From the SF Gate:

Brian Butcher, 34, of Saratoga was arrested about 1 a.m. Saturday after police responded to an alarm at the school.

Officers found that the glass door to the gym had been smashed by a shot put. They also found Butcher driving a vehicle on the front lawn of the campus, police said.

Butcher had flammable materials in his possession.

Butcher did not appear to be intoxicated but was angry that the school let him go a year ago, Rimple said.

The most shocking part of this story is the fact that Butcher wasn’t drunk. Maybe he wasn’t drinking but he had to be on something if he’s throwing a shot put through a door and driving on the school lawn. Butcher probably shouldn’t put down Los Gatos High School as a reference on future job applications.

This past Saturday night was a bad time to piss people off if you were youth softball umpire David Ray Kelly or Suge Knight. Kelly was involved in a heated argument during a 10-year-old girl’s league softball tournament in Tennessee, and Knight argued with some men inside and outside of a Hollywood, Ca. nightclub. Both men ended up on the losing side of their disputes.

While the story of Suge Knight getting knocked out was treated like the house landing on the Wicked Witch, umpire puncher Jonathon Rose was only greeted by the police. From WSMV.com:

Witnesses said the incident occurred after a dispute over a play at the athletic fields on Park Drive in Columbia during a 10-year-old girls’ league softball tournament game.

The altercation apparently intensified when umpire David Ray Kelly called Summertown Lady Volcanoes assistant coach Jonathan Rose a liar, according to what witnesses told police.

Police said as Kelly turned to walk away, Rose punched him and knocked him unconscious.

The game was canceled after the fight, and Rose was arrested on charges of aggravated assault. The saddest part of the story is that the Lady Volcanoes have been kicked out of the league because of an assistant coach with a mean hook. The parents hope to put the team back together under a new name.

I don’t think a name change will help Suge live this down.

It looks like I’ve reached grumpy old man status.. I’m standing on corners, shaking my cane, and yelling about these kids today. The latest no good slacker youths to get on my nerves are wrestlers for Woodbury high school in Minnesota. They had a coach that cared about them and had their best interest at heart, but they threw it all away.

An assistant wrestling coach at Woodbury High School who’s accused of offering beer to team members has been fired.

A search warrant affidavit alleges the 21-year-old coach arrived at the Crown Plaza Hotel in St. Paul on Feb. 29. with a case of beer, accompanied by two high school-aged girls, and offered the alcohol to everyone in the room.

Case of beer? Girls? Can you guess what the five members of the wrestling team that were in the room did? No you can’t. They left the room and told school officials the following morning. I’m not saying that anything more than getting drunk and falling asleep would’ve happened in my day but we damn sure wouldn’t have went crying to the head coach about being exposed to women and alcohol… I know wrestlers hate the gay jokes but damn.. Don’t make it so easy.
