Tuskegee men’s basketball coach Taylor handcuffed after intervening in postgame incident
Tuskegee men’s basketball coach Benjy Taylor was handcuffed after intervening in an incident involving his team and members of Morehouse’s basketball and football teams over the weekend. A statement from his attorney says Taylor was concerned about Morehouse football players acting aggressively toward Tuskegee players and their parents during postgame handshakes on Saturday. The statement says the football players’ presence during the postgame handshake is prohibited by conference-mandated security protocols. After Taylor asked a second officer to enforce those protocols, the officer handcuffed him and escorted him from the court. Coach Taylor was not charged. Taylor has hired attorneys to represent him.
