TAMPA, FLORIDA – During Jesuit Catholic's 66-35 regular season-ending victory over Tampa Catholic, Friday night, an unidentified Jesuit football coach was caught on video punching one of his players as he departed the playing field.

Video of the incident was pulled from Jesuit's live stream of the contest on Facebook.

Prior to the punch, Tampa Catholic appeared to be in a fourth down punting formation from its own 29-yard line when several Jesuit coaches began signaling for a timeout. As soon as time was granted, a Tiger player sprinted off the field. As he approached the sideline he was greeted by a right hook to the left-side of his head, thrown by one of the Jesuit coaches.

The player immediately removed his helmet and turned to face the field as the coach followed him and screamed in his face.
