VIDEO: Girls' basketball coach accused of throwing player
A high school girls' basketball coach is accused of grabbing his own player and throwing her off the court during a fight.

LAKEWOOD, Colo. (KABC) -- A high school girls' basketball coach in Colorado is accused of grabbing his own player and throwing her off the court during a fight.



The fight broke out between two teams that have a history of bad blood. Sophomore Areeon Frilot was on the bench when it started.



The incident was caught on camera. At one point, Frilot is seen in the upper right corner of the video being tossed off the court by her hair.



"I can't believe the one person I trusted out of everybody in school was the one to do that to me," said Frilot.



Police investigated, but no charges were filed against either team or the coach.



The girl was suspended from school and thrown off the team. She admits she fought during a game with the same team last year, and says the coach warned everyone beforehand that if they fought again, he would stop them.
