Pennsylvania high school basketball coach on leave after apparently head-butting referee

MIDDLETOWN TWP., Pa. -- A high school basketball coach has been placed on administrative leave after a confrontation with a referee, which was caught on camera Tuesday night.

The video shows Neshaminy head coach Jerry Devine apparently head-butting one of the PIAA officials after a foul call.

The video of the game between Neshaminy and Pennsbury high schools was obtained through radio station WBCB 1490 AM.

The Neshaminy School District released the following statement Wednesday morning:

"Mr. Devine has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of that review for both his teaching and coaching positions. The athletic program at Neshaminy places the values of fair play and sportsmanlike conduct above all. We expect our coaches and staff to teach and uphold those principles, while acting in a professional manner at all times."

Devine was ejected from the game after the incident.

The official got up off the floor and finished the final moments of the game.
