SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (WJBK) - A middle school football player is suffering from a broken collarbone after an incident on the practice field, but it wasn't a teammate that delivered the bone snapping blow. The drill was captured on video and shows it was a coach who hit the 13-year-old Roseville student.

"The coach decided to put on a kid's helmet, and so I was picked. It was me and two other kids were picked by the head coach. So, we had to go out there and try to tackle him," said Alex Androsuk. "The coach has seen the video and said I was faking my injury."

"He was crying and holding his shoulder real funny, and I asked him what happened. The first thing out of his mouth was Coach "Joe" hit him. Now, him crying, I had to get him to settle down to find out what actually happened," said Bernard Androsuk, Alex's father.

Androsuk, who weighs 189 pounds and 5'6" tall, is cut out of the last game of the season because of that fractured collarbone. Meanwhile, his dad is asking why an adult coach would actually don a helmet and take part in a hitting drill with twelve and 13-year-olds.

"You don't want to know my true reaction. I'm not going to say it on TV, but I'm just going to say, at the least, really disgusted with the whole thing," Bernard Androsuk told us.

FOX 2 spoke with a Roseville school athletic director. He told us that he spoke with Androsuk's father and has launched and entire investigation. The big question is whether it was unnecessary roughness.

"At this point, we're still kind of investigating, trying to see what really happened," said Major Mickens.

"[Those] coaches should've had no rights to put that helmet on and hit any kids, period," said Bernard Androsuk. "I [could] see as he hit my son, the minute he made contact, I knew my son was hurt."

Androsuk told us had his son been hit by another student and broke his collarbone, he wouldn't be as upset. It's the principal of a coach hitting his child that has him so angry. He's now thinking about contacting a lawyer to look into this.

The pussification of America continues. My freshman coach did the exact same thing to us on occasion, and didn't even bother putting on a helmet. The time I tackled him (more like stood him up) he walked away with a huge gash on the side of his head where my facemask rode up after the collision.

This ****ing kid is bigger than the coach and is wearing pads, FFS.

That kid looked like gymtan laundry out there trying to tackle. No wonder he broke his collarbone.

can see the you tube video.

I understand the dad's point of view to a short point. I'm a dad, and wouldn't want my kid to get hurt, ever! Of course. I wonder, though, did he see the video and see it was a drill, not malicious in anyway before he gave this interview?

To the comment "a coach should never put on a helmet and hit any kids." I have to call bs. It's a part of coaching. I remember playing football and interacting with the coach just like this. I remember playing the tennis coach and wrestling with the wrestling coaches. I've coached football and wrestling and interacted with the kids as a teaching tool, and I believe this fits in that category.

It sucks, but it's not worthy of lawsuits and angry words back and forth between school officials and parents or between posters here. Save the anger for the coach that grabs a facemask out of anger and throws a player on the ground in disgust of a poorly executed play, or puts his hands on a kid out of anger. That where the real crime would be.

He's not wearing pads (hence more force behind his collision) and is a grown man with grown man power hitting a 13 year old kid. Men aren't allowed to don pads and hit children for a reason and that shouldn't need explained.

Yeah, that happens all the time.. Adults being the runner.. Not breaking collar bones.. It was just bad luck..

The guy shouldn't of ran full speed though.. The kids might face someone his weight but not with his power..

There are two perspectives here: One a distraught guardian and the other a enlightened instructor. It's hard to criticize either one for their asumptions but I do think the kid is a frail little shit and shouldn't be allowed within spitting distance of a football field. Stick to drama club you big pussy.

In every football practice in America, kids are coached not to try and tackle high. If the kid had ever listened to his coaches and took him out thigh high, this would never have come to fruition. Yeah, the coach is a man, and stronger, etc., but the kid used poor technique.

Our coaches often jumped in to show how to do things. This isn't anything unusual. "More force behind his collision" LOL physics fail.

There is nothing unusual here.....to me...At least growing up..wrestling, boxing, martial arts, baseball, ...etc....all had a degree of "coach-player" interaction....

This was a freak accident...and the parents are probably just looking for a settlement.

This is why we can't have nice things.....people get hurt playing a rough game and want to blame someone or get paid...

Pretty soon there will be no school sports, its sad and pathetic....

I can understand being angry / upset that your kids collar bone is broken, but then dont sign him up for football if you are going to get all THAT irate about it..

Embeded video doesn't work, but click the link and it should work on their site. Also, Warpath, there is not way in hell that kid is anywhere near the size of the coach. Kid only weights 186. Looks like he may have hit the kid just inside the collar of his pads giving the kid no protection. Wouldn't have been a problem if the coach had also been wearing shoulder pads, but as it was, his shoulder was able to exert all of his force into one small area.

Hindsight is always 20/20. But, I call again on this question; do you think it was malicious or even a lapse in judgement on the part of the coach?

Running full bore at a 13 year old kid is not jumping in there to show them how to do things. And how is it a physics fail? His bare shoulder that would normally have pads on it to disperse the hit and lessen the impact....I think it's more of a comprehension fail on your part...LOL...jackass. Let me make it easier to understand for you. Let me smack you with a brick in the head, then I'll wrap the brick in foam and padding then hit you again, which would you prefer??

You must be raising some pussies if you think that's something you need to get involved in.

I hope you've never reproduced at all.

I find myself uninterested in what you hope. Hey, wrap your kids in bubble wrap if you want to, just don't tell me that this is an unusual thing to have happen. It happens on football fields every day.
