Excerpt:
A shocking video has ignited a firestorm: Northville Central School District fired high school basketball coach Jim Zullo after he was caught on camera yanking senior Hailey Monroe’s ponytail following the New York Class D state championship loss on Friday. The clip shows Zullo, enraged, grabbing the girl’s hair as teammate No. 24 (possibly) steps in, earning praise for standing up to “this thug.” Zullo claimed Monroe cursed at him, but the district’s statement condemned the act, vowing serious action and support for affected players and families, per The Times Union. We condemn this move unequivocally—young women should never face such physical aggression from an adult, especially a coach.
Her teammate was awesome trying to protect her!
Very impressive for a high schooler to stand up to an adult like that.
