NBC Philadelphia– Attorney Dennis Young, who is representing a high school basketball coach who was fired last month, told NBC10 that for ten years “the coach was told to make the team whiter.”
The NAACP is asking the New Jersey Attorney General to launch an investigation into the firing of Joe McLoughlin.
McLoughlin was fired in June after serving as the head basketball coach at Collingswood High School for 14 years and winning a state championship.
