Five assistants have followed by individually posting their resignations on Facebook.

Only reason given according to this article says the coach was using some harsh language. I’ll be honest with you, my grandson plays travels league basketball. The lid has been taken off because the language with what some of these coaches are using is almost no holds barred(I apologize for all the slang). An interim head coach has been put in place at Union County and new assistants are being hired.
