Assistant Football Coach William Miller Fired For Mooning Fans

Williams Miller, a volunteer assistant football coach at Boys and Girls High School in Brooklyn, was fired for mooning fans after losing 16-6 to Campus Magnet on Saturday.

New York City Department of Education spokesperson Margie Feinberg explained that Miller is a volunteer and has been fired by Boys and Girls principal Bernard Gassaway.

"He's a volunteer, he's not a DOE [Department of Education] employee," Feinberg said. "So the principal can ban him from being an assistant coach."

After the referees ruled that Campus Magnet running back Raeshawn Lewis successfully converted a two-point conversion late in the game, the Boys and Girls coaches lost their composure and ran on to the field to argue.

Officials ejected head coach Barry O'Connor and called the game with 3:49 remaining on the clock, awarding Campus Magnet with the win. That led to a scuffle between the Boys and Girls coaches and school safety officers, according to the report from the New York Daily News.

Campus Magnet fans started taunting the opposing coaches, which led to Miller taking off his pants and mooning the crowd.

It was Miller's first year with the football team.

There is a factual error in this article. Obviously, the coach was actually from the Muddogs from the movie.

A guy guilty of mooning gets fired by another guy named Gassaway. Perfect.

It wasn't the mooning, it's just that he didn't wipe throughly.

Time and place people - drunken party, hilarious. In front of minor children - not so funny.

I can't decide what's funnier, an inane story about a volunteer assistant high school football coach being a knucklehead in the 'sports' section here, or all of the righteous people showing up in the comments section to condemn him. Oh noes, buttcheeks! Think about the children!

First of all, I hope that's not him in the pic and secondly, it looks like he's taking a dump instead of mooning...

Gee, I thought I was seeing a photograph of former Indiana University basketball coach  (General) Robert Montgomery (Bobby) Knight who dropped a pants load on the wooden floor of IU's Memorial Hall to show his contempt for his players' lack of hustle.  I guess grotesque coaching technique is imitated by others.

Anyone miss the "streaking" phenom of the 70's? As a kid I always anticipated some big opening or special event knowing a potential streaker was lurking in the shadows preparing to flash everyone.

What was that movie where the guy gets so frustrated with the insanity of trying to defend his dissertation against a bunch of cookie-cutter professors that he jumps up on the conference table and dumps it all? I liked that movie. I bet this coach had a beer after the game and is still laughing with his buds. I think we should all line up and do it to presidential motorcades.

"It was Miller's first year with the football team."
And it will be Miller's LAST year with ANY football team in THAT league!
He's bloody lucky somebody didn't pull his Roscoe and bust at least ONE cap in those pink gleuts!

Yet another example of American Sportsmanship On The Skids!

Of course, the DOE wouldn't summarilay terminate an employee for this kind of conduct.

But WHY NOT???

Where is Superman? I'm waiting.
