Coach Benjy Taylor allegedly tried to address safety protocols when Morehouse football players joined the handshake line, leading to his arrest on court.
Tuskegee University men’s head basketball coach Benjy Taylor was taken off the court by police in handcuffs following the team’s loss on the road to Morehouse College on Saturday night.
Taylor and a law enforcement officer were caught on video during the handshake line between the two teams, and they exchanged words.
While Taylor did appear to be frustrated about something, pointing around the gym, the officer clearly didn’t like what was said and took out his cuffs.
Taylor, 58, was placed under arrest and escorted off the court in a wild scene.
HBCU Gameday reported that Morehouse football players stepped on the court after the game ended in a loss for their basketball team, and Taylor was confronting security about how to address that.
