There's a long history of parents behaving badly where youth sports are concerned, but most times it tends to involve their children's in-game performance.
In a recent incident in Mississippi, however, the act of violence from one parent was the result of a disagreement over how her child would be transported home from one of the team's games.
Hamilton girls basketball head coach Sue Verner was attacked by a parent simply because Verner was enforcing a rule that players must ride the bus back to the school following away games, according to a report from WCBI.
Verner was “knocked out cold” according to the information WCBI received and she was transported to the hospital.
Catching a felony charge just because your kid can't ride home with you would seem to be an extremely poor decision, but as always, things could have been a whole lot worse.
