Dad pulls gun on coach over son's playing time

Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA -- A father pulled a gun on a youth football coach because his son wasn't getting enough playing time, police said.

Wayne Derkotch, 40, was arguing with the coach Sunday during a game of 6- and 7-year-olds when he drew the weapon, police said. No shots were fired.

Derkotch was charged with aggravated assault and other offenses. He did not immediately return a call to his home Monday.

A referee accused of throwing a punch at a man was also arrested on assault charges, police said.

watched that on the news this AM as well. And not really surprised. But its not just up here- parents outta control everywhere.

BTW- the "ref" that attempted to get the guys' plate number was jumped by this wacko's brother and got into it as well- and somehow Philly PD charged HIM (the ref) w/ simple assault !

hopefully it gets dropped- but the dude w/ the gun really oughta do some time on the agg assault charge.
