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.

Pretty much what people have already said. IF the kid used proper technique he would have been fine.

Someday when this kid is married to a fat wife, has 3 heathens of his own, is upside down on his mortgage, and attempts to live off a PE teachers income; he'll understand taking a minute out of his day to don a helmet and wreck fools like he used to back in the day.

I'm all for the toughness in football thing, that's fine. If these were high school kids the coach probably would have gotten leveled. The adult has the advantage of perhaps working out, etc. Much more experience with football, all that. Kids at that age are still working into not fearing hits, technique, etc. That guy should be done coaching kids like that. Poor choice.

It's dumb, just because if something does happen you're going to have parents screaming, and you might lose your job.

I coached kids for 5 years, ranging from age 8 to 12, depending on the season. Coaches never got fully involved in hitting, we would show technique at half or quarter speed, but watching this video, I don't really have a problem with what the coach did. I mean, it was obviously meant to be a fun exercise, and he didn't look like he was running full speed. But, it's a contact sport and shit can happen so if you're a coach, you don't want to have it happen on you. If it were my son, I'd say I'd be pissed, but not sure if you can really blame anyone at the end of the day. It sucks, but it's football.

InChiefsHeaven · 11-08-2011, 06:47 AM

But, the coach saying he was faking his injury was dumb. You have to treat every incident as if it's a real injury then go from there.

Agreed. Went back and watched it again. First kid to make contact was trying to tag coach with one of those idiotic "big hits", and made no attempt to wrap up. Had a kid this year that kept doing that the first few games... twice the kid bounced off for big gainers, one a touchdown.

Pet peeve. Wrap up.

I coach little league wrestling and last year one of our coaches broke a 12 yo's arm.

The coach weighs about 240 and he was demonstrating a move and rolled up on the kids arm... needless to say the parents were not very happy and tried making a big deal out of it.

tooge · 11-08-2011, 08:35 AM

Hopefully he gets that collar bone fixed. He is gonna need it to carry the tuba in band

Lono · 11-08-2011, 08:35 AM

I'm a HS football coach and stopped playing with the kids for this very reason. The kids loved it when one of us would strap up with them in camp. We are all too scared to anymore though. My HS coach used to do it all the time. He would run us over but every once in a while you'd get that great hit in on him and it made it all worth it. Definitely would not put on pads like that against junior high kids. Maybe work them over from the oline/dline or something, but this is just asking to get sued.

jidar · 11-08-2011, 08:38 AM

The coach decided to tackle kids and he broke a kids collar bone. You've got to be a ****ing idiot not to see a problem with that.
I guarantee I could break a 12 year old kids bones with every single tackle if I wanted, and if I did it would be my fault.

jspchief · 11-08-2011, 08:42 AM

It's clearly not malicious. If anything, the video should help, you can tell the other kids are having fun with it. The broken collarbone is a freak accident. Nothing to be outraged over IMO.

Obviously the coach is gonna learn a hard lesson about today's society.

The coach didn't tackle anyone. Feel free to watch the video before forming baseless opinions.

Malicious no, lapse in judgement maybe. Most coaches kind of act out hits to show players what they want to show them, or throw a shoulder while standing still. Not take a 10yd. running start at them.
