The coach had lost his job before when the H.S. he was HC at was taking players outside the public schools district. In fact at least 7 starting players on that team are now playing in the NFL. Moreover, at the end of the game at issue his starting qb, who had committed to UCLA, was still in the game risking injury to him and other starters.
I can't see how there are two sides to this thing. I think it was almost 60 to 0 at halftime.
