A nearby witness tells FOX 2 the coach actually “headbutted” the player.The mother of another player did not see the incident but spoke with FOX 2 after she saw the video for the first time on Tuesday. She asked not to be identified.“I can’t believe he did it to a kid and they need to press charges,” she said. “He likes to cuss. He likes to talk to them like they’re nobodies. He’s now physical. I think it’s time for him to go.”Waterloo Police confirm they’ve received a report of the incident but have yet to reach the player’s parents about possibly pursuing charges.Collinsville Schools Superintendent, , released a statement saying: “Collinsville CUSD #10 takes the safety of our students and personnel very seriously.
