Jim Zullo, a member of the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame and former basketball coach of Northville High School’s girls’ team, has issued a statement apologizing for his behavior at the Class D State Championship final.
To the uninformed, Zullo was seen violently yanking Northville’s star player’s (Hailey Monroe) hair after the latter was seemingly crying following the team’s defeat to La Fargeville. He was fired for his misdemeanor.
Northville High School management, in a post, confirmed the basketball coach’s dismissal in a social media post. It read, “The Northville Central School District is aware of, and deeply disturbed by, the conduct of the Coach of the Girls’ Varsity basketball team during the Class D New York State championship game.
