San Antonio John Jay HS assistant coach resigns amid UIL ban after football players assault referee

ROUND ROCK — Mack Breed will not be allowed to coach at any University Interscholastic League school until he meets with the organization’s State Executive Committee, the committee ruled Thursday.

Breed, who issued his resignation as a Jay assistant football coach on Wednesday night, according to the Northside Independent School District, allegedly told two Jay players to attack umpire Robert Watts during a game Sept. 4 between Jay and Marble Falls.

Breed’s attorney, James Reeves, said Breed told the committee he made “regrettable comments” but did not want Watts attacked. The committee ruled unanimously to keep Breed from coaching at a UIL-member school Thursday during a formal hearing on the incident at the Austin Marriott North.

“Mack never intended for the kids to hit or hurt the referee, but the result was the same,” Reeves said. “While Mack is moving forward, others have to accept responsibility for their roles.”
