ETSU Coach Randy Sanders Reprimanded, Docked Pay for Slapping a Player’s Helmet

East Tennessee State football coach Randy Sanders has been reprimanded and docked a week’s pay for slapping a player on the helmet.

In my opinion, this is an embarrassing moment in college football history.

Here are details on what happened:

A defensive player intercepted a pass during one drill and began running the ball out of the end zone. Sanders approached the player and told him not to run with the ball and instead just take a knee in the end zone. The player replied that he would take a knee in an actual game situation.
