Florida coach suspended, probed for practice during pandemic

MIAMI (AP) — A Florida high school football coach was suspended as administrators investigate whether he held practice against rules and stay-at-home orders during the coronavirus pandemic, officials said.

Daisy Gonzalez-Diego, a spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, said the school was in communication with parents of students who may have practiced during the unauthorized training.

The Florida High School Athletic Association, the state's governing body for high school sports, canceled all high school athletic events in the state on March 18, nine days before the start of spring football practices.
