John Jay assistant recants, resigns and barred from coaching elsewhere for now
Now former John Jay assistant football coach Mack Breed is not allowed to coach at a University Interscholastic League school until he appears before the State Executive Committee.
Breed, who has resigned, is alleged to have told players to target umpire Robert Watts during a Sept. 4 game against Marble Falls. Breed initially admitted that he had directed the players to make Watts pay for missed calls and racial slurs. He later recanted.
Watts, through his attorney, has denied making any racial remarks.
“We want to make sure that he doesn’t land somewhere else before some final decision is reached,” State Executive Committee chairman Mike Motheral said. “He might be cleared of all wrongdoing. We don’t know what’s going to happen there.
“This does not bring with it today any suspensions. If things turn out the way they appear to be, there will be some suspension at some point. For now, we want to insure he is not coaching somewhere else at this point.”

The Jay High School assistant football coach who admitted he told some of his players to go after a game official before two Mustangs defensive backs attacked umpire Robert Watts in a game against Marble Falls on Sept. 4 has recanted his prior statement about the incident, Northside Independent School District officials confirmed during a Thursday hearing.
The news the coach’s conflicting statement was first reported by TEGNA partner KENS5.com reporter David Flores.
In his second statement, secondary coach Mack Breed wrote that he took the blame in the incident to protect the two players from being expelled from school, one of the sources told KENS5. But Breed denied that he told the players to go after Watts.

This will turn into a mini-series before long.
