From Josh Verlin at City of Basketball Love:
Multiple sources in attendance tell CoBL that the video shows action with under 30 seconds left in the game, when a Neshaminy player was called for a charge after going in for a layup that could have made it a 3-point game, at which point Jerry Devine lost his cool.
The video, which is a cell phone capture of recorded game footage, is only five seconds long, and has two men reacting to the play.
Ironically, the ref was the one who drew the real charge here.
Here’s a screen grab from an old video of Devine:
Someone’s going viral.
UPDATE: Devine is listed as a special ed teacher on the school’s website. Devine also coached Villanova stud Ryan Arcidiacono.
