Early Friday morning, video surfaced of a coach in #LaVarBall’s Junior Basketball Association putting hands on one of his players.
According to USA Today, the incident occurred during a timeout with 1:24 left in the game between Chicago and Seattle. With Chicago down 110-95 in the 4th, Chicago Ballers head coach Edward Denard was seen shoving Montreal Dixson, sparking tensions between the two. The incident was captured on the game’s broadcast.
“Hey, that’s my bad, I guess,” Dixson says, which prompts Denard to respond, saying, “Get the [expletive] ball. Stop being a bitch.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As the incident escalated, Dixson responds, prompting Denard to headbutt him before he yells obscenities in his face.

“What you gonna do?” Denard asked. “What you gonna do, huh?? What the f*ck you going to do?”
