It is unacceptable for a head coach to be involved in any altercation with fans and such behavior should not be tolerated. Coaches are expected to set an example for their players and be role models.
The fact that ETBU players also participated in the altercation further adds to the gravity of the situation. Such actions are reprehensible and have no place in sports or any other setting
